How about instead of making Exim not talk to exchange servers you do somthing usefull, like fix bugs in code?  Or instead of inspecting mail headers to see if somebody is using Outlook or Eudora or some windows client you do somthing that benefits and helps the community.


What do you mean by Linux community isn't #1? Because it's not cool? 
Because it doesn't rule? Noooo, because it worries about M$.... Now, 
have you EVER programmed in Windows? Well, if you say that you did and 
it was GOLD GREAT then you surely deserve a medal for bravery, courage 
and outstanding. And I am referring only and exclusively to Windows and 
what I know about it from my own experience...

On what concerns the reaction of other programmers from OTHER OSes, then 
it is perfectly natural that, their _very_natural_ reaction to Windows 
would be like running from the Plague. Because there is no portability, 
no documentation (don't tell me about M$ Rosetta plates), and no 
guarantees that tomorrow your program will not be stopped by another 
"feature" introduced by another :"smart" programmer at Redmond.  The 
only way to overcome this is to live Windows, write in 
VB/ActiveX/C#/SOAP(-opera?) and wait for your early retirement due to 
growing debilism...

On what concerns helping the community by looking at Outlook headers... 
Why we should worry about them? Because M$ decided to add so many 
features to E-mail that today we are plagued by users, the police forces 
and the Pope to fight viruses, trojans and the utter desire to see the 
neighbor's wife in what Mother Nature dressed her at birth...

Note: Exim is NOT restricted to a Linux environment. In fact its 
developers advertise it as: "Exim is a message transfer agent (*MTA*) 
developed at the     University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems 
connected to the Internet." (from www.exim.org)
