Ok. It seems to have converted cleanly this time, mostly. However, it is
complaining about my Retry rules. I'm looking through the dox on this one,
but if someone can solve it for me first I would greatly appreciate it. I
ran exim-4.10 -bV -C exim.conf-v4, and got:
Exim version 4.10 #1 built 04-Nov-2002 08:41:39
Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2002
2002-11-04 08:44:10 Exim configuration error in line 697:
bad parameters for retry rule
So I went and looked at line 679:
* Quota F,0m,0m
(of course, before that is the begin retry line).
Is the quota retry rule not supported in v4 anymore?
Thanks!
