Hi Mike,

Do you have access to the MySQL database connected to the vexim
installation?  You can see the password for siteadmin in the users table.

An SQL statement like

SELECT clear from users where username = 'siteadmin';

should give you the password used to set it up.

If you can't remember the login/password for MySQL then you can look it
up in the vexim code in the config/variables.php file.

Cheers

Tim

PS:
Vexim is not really supported anymore, you may be better off installing
exim4u instead.

I still use it, but I suspect that very few others do.  This mailing
list hasn't seen any traffic in over a year.
