Hi

Thanks for the replies. I better understand how this works now.

Ok, so that helps me understand why it was working on my other exim
servers.

I can state that it worked with the 4.22 before I switched from
Mandrake to gentoo. The exim is exactly the same. I tarr'ed it up and
put it back (all in /usr/local) so the exim binary and conf files were
the same (and keys and certs). This has been working for months before
I did this upgrade and no user complained that it didn't work (as it
was working). The clients involved are OS X Mail.app (OS X10.3.5
version) and a version of Mulberry for Windows. These are the two main
users of the system and both are having the same problem. I need to
test better to see if I can see some more info or something to clue me
in.

Thanks
best
Chad
