Good, thank you. I now run it on one mailserver with virtual
domains (http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~vadik/exim/virtual.tar.gz).
It works well.

If you're going to train the client on Exim config files, then
definitely go for Exim 4. It's simpler, more powerful and more
sensible (I must say that Exim 3, however good, accumulated some
crust, which is the reason Exim 4 exists).
