Re: [Sheflug] Re: Software (and exim)

This is true. You can transfer the licence, but give up all rights to the
software after that. Which means you may as well give them the disk,
you're not allowed to use it...

I gave my Win98 disk away. Can't say I miss it.

Anyway, exim... Apart from the last problem (relaying out to smtp, if it
didn't get through), I would like to hold delivery if I am not
connected. At the moment, it just reports an error and says 'cannot
deliver to <address> now, please try again later'. How do I tell it to
wait?

Sorry if this is all easy stuff, but with so many people who know what
there doing around, it seems silly to go it alone ;-)
