[svlug] Adding users to exim

[Skip Evans]

Hi Jeff & all,

My concern now is twofold: 1) That file that was 
missing /etc/pam.d/exim (you had one but I didn't) 
has me wondering if this install is not complete. 
And 2) the fact that the program is exim and not 
exim4, does that mean I have an old version and 
maybe should upgrade?

Also, this is a Fedora Core 4 distro.

Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly 
appreciated.
