Hello again,
Allow me to give you a little more background as I would like to know if
what I need to achieve is possible with exim.
We have been running Mercury on Windows but due to constantly increasing
load we are thinking of changing to exim. There is only one problem here.
We have a php script which generates files on the hard drive (it queries
the database and writes emails to disk). These files are then copied to
Mercury's queue where they are parsed and sent to the world. I know I
would need to adjust the file format. No problem about that. It will
require changing the php script.
The *.101file format which Mercury parses is a simple plain text file with
the following headers:

> RECIPIENT_EMAIL_ADDRESS

and then goes the body of the message.
Is it possible to have exim recognize such files, convert them to emails
and send to the reciepients?
Thank you very much indeed and sorry to bother you!
Warm regards,
