I am using exim-4.10 on one machine and 4.05 on the other two.

Thanks for the directions. I have tried the example in Spec.txt for
smtp_appendfile using bsmtp for my own address as a test, but I must
have done something wrong. Exim seemed to totally ignore that part of
the configuration (and yes, I did do a 'killall -HUP exim' after
changing the configuration).
We decided (it is just after midnight now) to stop exim until
tomorrow morning.
Regards.
Johann
