exim for DEBIAN
---------------

Exim will install by default to run from inetd.conf. To instead run exim
from /etc/init.d/exim:

1. Edit /etc/init.d/exim  and comment the "exit 0" out
2. You might want to change the contents of /etc/cron.d/exim since the queue
   will be run from the daemon instead
3. Disable the entry in /etc/inetd.conf ?

EXIM_GID is compiled in as 8, the mail group, so any mail administrators
should be added to this group in order to be able to look into the spool and
manipulate messages.

LDAP support is not included; I think it needs a library of some kind which
as far as I know isn't yet included in debian.

IPv6 support is not included, as IPv6 isn't included in glibc 2.0. When
debian uses glibc 2.1 I'll release an exim with IPv6 support.
