OK Sarge has not been out that long and there are several things that I need
to resolve before I can upgrade that server. That said let's just assume I
move my email to a new server using Debian Sarge and it's latest exim. The
same question would still apply. I mean why would I upgrade and set up a new
server the same way I have things set up. If I am going to upgrade I would
like to set it up right to begin with.

BTW If you are going to take the time to reply with comments on upgrading I
would think that the least you could do is answer the questions asked and
assume that the user would be using the upgraded version.

Thanks for the advice, but I still need help. Please!

Best practice would be to upgrade to a current release. Exim 3.35 has
not been supported for many years, and no-one on this list remembers
enough about it to answer any questions usefully. Debian currently
ships a relatively recent version of exim in its stable sarge release.
