Onderwerp: FW: [Exim] About intsalling sendmail and using different mail servers together
    Exim can do all things ?! But problem is I want to seperate queues .
I'm using sendmail for ETRN Support and I will use exim for only send a mail
?! I know that exim have etrn support but at this moment all mails ( ETRN
or others ) will be on same queue. And I don't want to spend too much
computer for that ?!


Thanks

Vahric

You don't. It's just that normally people are replacing sendmail with
Exim, and lots of software by default expects to be able to call
/usr/bin/sendmail (and/or other similar paths). So, it's normally
convenient to create symlinks to make the replacement of sendmail easier
and more transparent.

Ouch. It certainly sounds possible (you can certainly make Exim listen on
one interface only), but would be rather unusual, and definitely has
potential for some confusion! Is there any particular reason why you need
to run two different MTAs? What is the function that you must run sendmail
for, which Exim can't fulfil?
