There is now a temporary web site for the Exim 4 book at

http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/

In due course, this will migrate to become

http://www.exim-book.com/

once the necessary infrastructure gets set up.

The publisher hopes to be shipping the book by the end of April.



And it's not O'Reilly?!? Darn it, it's gonna take the uniformity of
my book shelf away!! :)

This is the _exact_ reason I think RPMs are bad. They teach you
F**K all about system setup. You also rely on a 3rd parties idea
of 'what the right thing to do with your system' is. I cannot see
how installing exim 'out of the box' broke your server! Thats just
insane, what did you do copy it randomly over your OS? :)

RPMs are bad m'kay, as the old saying goes; 'Use the source luke!'
