Hello,

I would like to try Exim4U as a substitute for Vexim, as already  
mentioned in a prev post.
Of course that is not against vexim, I have to say I was very  
satisfied with vexim over the
last years. Thank you very much, Avleen and others who contributed.

Actually I already started with Exim4U. It looks promising, the only  
missing thing for me is
debian related configuration. I see that you (Gordon) are developing  
on Redhat. Nonetheless
it is maybe worth to have a Debian section (and maybe other distis)  
somewhere in your
homepage / documentation, even if this is more or less empty as of  
now. Or what about
a wiki. I especially talk about debian, because 1.) I use it :-) and  
2. debian's primary mail
server is exim4, so there might be strong interest from here.

What I ve found so far:

- current exim4 version for debian (stable) is 4.69, no dkim features  
there, configuration fails,
   I had out-commented them for now.
- mail user and group for debian is "Debian-exim" rather than "exim"
- There is no mailnull user by default in debian
- default location is /etc/exim4, need to modify all paths in the  
configuration.
- default location of the configuration is /etc/exim4/exim4.conf  
rather than exim.conf
- configuration procedure for exim is quite special in debian

There will likely come up much more issues when using exim4u with  
debian...

Thanks for exim4u anyhow.

Are there other users using exim4u with debian, or intend to migrate  
from vexim to exim4u?

best regards,
Karl
