Betreff: [Exim] HELP !
I am a complete newbie and have been trying to set up exim as MTA.
I have managed to download the zipped file.
I have gunzipped the file into the recomended locate(according to the EXIM
book, O'Reily)/usr/exim/exim-4.34/
I then edited the said files and then ran the make command.
After that I ran the make install. All this went successfully.
Most of the test that I run seem to not give me any error. I cannot seem to
write to the error logs. I get the following error and do not know where to
turn.

Subject: test

This is a test, I hope it works

Cheers
