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

>> Then you simply need to add a symblic link into the correct run-levels
>> to make sure it starts during boot. Most distro's have their own
>> utilities to do this for you:
>> Debian/Ubuntu: update-rc.d
>> RedHat/CentOS: chkconfig (see
>> http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ch-boot-
>> init-shutdown.html)
>>
>> 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 :)
