Help With Exim Mailer

[Rejean Proulx]

Where do you find that chapter?  I plan to test my configuration against
some spam testing sites.  I've been there, got in trouble, and got out of it
a year ago.  I'd love to read the chapter is long as I know which one.  I am
opening relay very slowly as I don't want to expose anything I don't have
too.  Kirk also sent me an example of a exim.conf file I am using to look
at.
