This file does _not_ contain the Exim main configuration options; this
file is a Debian-specific file, created by the command
"update-exim4.conf", and used along with your own configuration files
in /etc/exim4/conf.d/ when Exim creates its runtime configuration file
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated upon startup.
The Exim4 main configuration options are spread across files in the
directory /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/. These are documented in the Exim
spec (/usr/share/doc/exim4/spec.txt.gz).

These contain the values you filled in when you configured Exim4
through DebConf. To change them, run:
# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

None. This is the complete list of options used by "update-exim4.conf".

Run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config"; when asked about "General type of
mail configuration", choose:
"mail sent by smarthost; no local mail".
