Indeed, I have modified Ian Jackson's smail configuration script for
use with exim.
It creates appropriate aliases and exim configuration files for three
types of system:
1) Standard fully-connected host
2) Satellite system (sends all outgoing mail to a smarthost for delivery,
redirects local deliveries to the hub machine, and rewrites outgoing
mail to appear to originate from the hub machine, which need not be
the same machine as the smarthost used for outgoing messages)
3) Machine not connected to the outside world.
The script could probably be easily modified as a general exim
configuration script (I have used a slightly modified version for
generating a basic satellite configuration on an IRIX box).
Tim.
