I prefer exim 4 over exim 3 too. I have a config file already setup to go,
it's just it's not going to be a simple pop it in and I'm done.

The server is debian and I'm using the exim4 packages from experimental
(which exim4 is quite stable for me). It's just I have to remove exim3 and
install exim4 and copy over my config. I like doing things silently, but
this I don't think can be done that way.

IMO, it's way better to start from scratch. convert4r4 doesn't know about
things (unless changed in phil's testing version 4.15/20) like sender_reject
(it assumes sender_reject_recipients). I went through my config line by
line checking everything. Would have been worth my time to just rewrite it
=)
