Sounds like you're using Debian. The default configuration format for
Debian Exim 4 packages is a bunch of little files in /etc/exim4/conf.d.
These files are essentially the Exim 4 configuration split into easy to
manage sections. A script takes these files and combines them into
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, using values from
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. You can make changes to these 'stub
files' as necessary, then run 'update-exim4.conf' and SIGHUP the Exim 4
daemon (/etc/init.d/exim4 reload).
