On my own servers, I actually use Debian's split configuration scheme,
tailored to my needs. I think if one knows the structure of exim's
configuration, having one router/transport per file makes it much
easier to work with. But since your mileage may vary, there is more
than one way to do it.
The only thing that I violently object to is advising newbies who do
not know how exim works to use a hand-made exim.conf. That's a really
really bad idea.
If you know how exim works, please, by all means, use every
possibility that exim and debian gives to you.
