INSTALL hint: exim4
Hi,

the INSTALL files says nothing about exim4 (maybe it's to simple?):

LOCAL_DELIVERY=transport_dbmail

Every router with local mail has to use 'transport = LOCAL_DELIVERY'
then.

Two possible transports:

# transport using pipe
transport_dbmail:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d $local_part@$domain"
return_fail_output
user = dbmail

# transport using lmtp; exim and dbmail on the same host
transport_dbmail:
driver = smtp
protocol = lmtp
hosts = localhost
allow_localhost
return_path_add

LMTP requires lmtp entries in /etc/services (they are not there in
Debian!).

lmtp 24/tcp
lmtp 24/udp

Re: INSTALL hint: exim4 [ In reply to ]
Hi,

I've created a file INSTALL.exim with this information. I've also put
the Postfix information in INSTALL.postfix and QMail information in
INSTALL.qmail

If anybody has more information on installation with other MTA's, or
more detailed info on Exim, Postfix or QMail (especially QMail..) please
step forward.
