Hi,
I have got IMAP setup and authentication now works (thanks to Jim), but ive
sent a few mails to the addr of the server 'user AT i DOT p DOT a DOT ddr' (and exim (my
smtp) accepts numeric (ip) domains so it should get through, but not.
My homedir is in /people (system-mount and binmode) will mail get there, i
think one of the src files has to be edited to allow mail to goto
non-standard locations. Is this right?
