However, unfortunately, on my Slackware system, I had to reinstall the Sendmail package, as Exim wouldn't accept my incoming email. In fact, it wouldn't even run, even after looking at the docs and trying to write a configuration file. Actually, from what I've heard, I would rather use Exim than Sendmail, and would appreciate any help or sample working config files that can be provided. Feel free to contact me off list if you can help. Thanks.
