I saved the original config file and went back to it when I realized that maybe
it wasn't such a brilliant idea to go with the split config when I saw that it
made no difference and most people here seem to be going with the "monolithic"
single file approach. I figured it would be easier to get help with that kind
of setup as well.

Man I am so disappointed. Can anyone give me a good reason why I shouldn't just
scrap exim4 and go back to sendmail --something I both understood and had working?
