Hi guys

If I could add some further info here. Kirill Dan is trying to get Exim,
Procmail and TMDA working together. I didn't answer earlier because I don't
use Procmail but I have sucessfully got Exim 4 & TMDA to work together -
and Dan I agree there is not much info on the combination yet :-)

Some points:

* Dan got his environment setting from TMDA website setting for Exim but he did
mistype one part missing a $. But my setup below, using same environment
setting from website works fine.
* I am interested to clarify this (also because there is not that much info on
using Exim 4 with TMDA) the Exim spec doc says that environment is a string
which is expanded to colon separated list of values so shouldn't mine below be
OK? It is working correctly.

Dan why don't you try out Exim -> TMDA functionality without procmail to see
if it works OK then plug procmail back in? Can't help you on the procmail side
but happy to help with Exim/TMDA.

Cheers
