Correct.

It certainly does. I apologize for the long log message which
was actually the output of exim -d -M with a message ID. For
those who thought I accidentally gave away the password, I
noticed what was in the output in time to do a global replace so
the password is safe and no, it's not "safe." This is like
"Who's on First?"

    My thanks to everybody.  I think the reason it seemed to
just quit working was I didn't realize when the file in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport got replaced and thought something
more complex was afoot.


    Thanks for everybody's patience.  I am new to this list
but not new to unix or computing so I will make sure that the
rewrites are back and that should make it all good again.
