But thats not the recommendet way. If you want to use one big config
instead of split files then edit /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and
then call update-exim4.conf && invoke-rc.d exim reload
This will create /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and exim will use
it as config file, but ONLY if /etc/exim4/exim4.conf DOES NOT EXIST.
Using this method has the advantage that exim config options stored
in the debconf database will smoothly be merged into the final
config file.
If update-exim4.conf will use the split files or the templete file
for config genereation depends on the setting "dc_use_split_config="
in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf being set to true or false.
