>> /etc/init.d/exim.out

>> Debian/Ubuntu: update-rc.d
>> RedHat/CentOS: chkconfig  (see

>> The how-to I wrote simply shows how to make the two exim's play nicely
>> with Debian so that updates etc don't hose your hard work.
>>
>> If you need more help, please help us - we need to know:
>> What MTA (Exim) and version?
>> What version of MailScanner?
>> What OS (linux/Solaris/etc) and version?
>> Any logs, error messages, etc?
>>
>> I really don't have enough information about your setup to offer any
>> more specific information...but more than happy to help out when more
>> info is available :)
