altoid, thanks for the suggestion. Didn't occur to me simply to
replace exim. I always like what is simpler.

I installed it and ran it. But a question. My mail service has a
specific box number to handle messages and so I need to configure
dragonfly. But I can't find any reference to configuration in the
documentation.

Do I have to purge exim4 before trying to use dragonfly? Or merely stop it?
