Ok, I might toss that in there just to see why it's not liking $HOME
(and why I have to explicitly pass it on the command = line).

What I'll probably end up doing (which is something I've been meaning to
do for a while) is just post my entire exim.conf with lots of
comments/explanations to my linsec.ca site and then can point people
there (because it has a lot of other anti-spam tricks, as well as
virtual user support, mailman support, etc.).

But thanks for the tinyurl posting... I'm gonna go through those and see
if there's more I can do... =)

Right now it seems odd, but I'm actually seeing the confirm responses
(which I don't want to see), so I'm not completely finished yet but I'm
getting there (then there's the client-side to do with mutt+postfix+os
x).
