If you just need a basic system for your debian box you shouldn't need to
touch any of the exim config files:
run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" as root.
This will kick off the Debian package configurator which will then allow you
to set it up in "smarthost/fetchmail" mode. Point it to your ISP's SMTP
server and you should be up and running as far as delivering system alerts
from you Debian box goes.
If you want to receive emails as well you will need to configure fetchmail -
I will leave that one to yourself.

Subject: [exim] Minimum set-up for system alerts only
I'm completely confused as to how to set-up exim on my debian.
I only want to use it for system alerts to myself and nothing else.
Could anybody advise me as to the best way of doing this and what i should
put where.
Or would sendmail be easier ?
Many thanks
Ken
