2 problems:
1) update-exim4.conf.conf is a Debian-specific file; 99% of the folks on
this list don't know anything about it.

Marc Haber: in the new packages, you should add a warning comment to
this file when you generate it, pointing to
pkg-exim4-users@??? for debian-specific support.

2) You have your ISP's domain listed in dc_other_hostnames, which means
that you're treating it as a local domain. That's incorrect. All mail
to westnet.com.au, including to your own address, should be delivered to
your ISP's machines, not yours. You should be using fetchmail or
something to pick up mail for your address and deliver it to your local
account.
