I'm installing a new debian sarge box to replace my current debian woody box
and have decided to switch from qmail/spamassassin/clamav to exim
4/spamassassin/clamav for my email system. I want something that I can
update via deb's official package archive - the last time I updated
spamassissan/clamav it broke my qmail installation (appears some file perms
changed and I'm having to run parts of qmail as root for now, not good, this
is the second time I've had an sa/clam update break qmail, last time it was
easier for me to reinstall qmail than try to figure out what went wrong). I
really like qmail but since Bernstein only allows src distribution it
sometimes gets hairy when I update my debian box, I would rather just go
with binary packages that have been tested to work together and not have to
worry about the qmail system/patches/ad-ons breaking when I do an update.
Anyway...
I was wondering if anyone has checked out "The Exim SMTP Mail Server
Official Guide for Release 4" by Philip Hazel and if so would you recommend
it? This is the only book for exim 4 I've been able to locate, from what
I've seen O'Rielly's is for exim 3, if any one knows of any others (and
would recommend them) could you let me know?
I've found lots of reference material online for exim 4 but I was looking
for a book that would have most of it in one place, I usually prefer to have
one or two good books on a subject and then use online references when I
need more details/examples of a particular item.
Thanks,
James
