the debian system uses a really smart configure program that gives you
about 4 examples of how to configure, add settings like local_domains
host_accept_relay, etc, however, it assumes that you have at least some
understanding of how mail works.
One thing you can do, Johannes, (debian-specific) is try
`dpkg-reconfigure exim` (no quotes)
The docs are a bit hard to get your head around at first, but keep on
keeping on-- or buy the exim book! I bought it after running exim for
the last 4 years, and having thought that I'd read through most of the
docs-- either I didn't understand them or didn't read htem, as it's
given me a wealth of information that I'd no idea of...
I have to say that I'm *really* glad that debian decided to put exim as
their mailer of choice-- I'd likely have never found out about it, nor
gotten to do some really interesting things with it that are impossible,
require much hoop-jumping, or are just plain hard on other mailers.
(p.s., anyone ever looked up the word 'eximious' in the dictionary?)
