| PackageDescription | configuration for the exim MTA (v4)
Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4-config provides the configuration
for the exim4 daemon packages. The configuration framework has been split
off the main package to allow sites to replace the configuration scheme
with their own without having to change the actual exim4 packages.
.
Sites with special configuration needs (having a lot of identically
configured machines for example) can use this to distribute their own
custom configuration via the packaging system, using the magic
available with dpkg's conffile handling, without having to do local
changes on all of these machines.
.
Information about the way Debian has built the binary packages is
obtainable in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, and the
very extensive upstream documentation is shipped in
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz. To repeat the
debconf-driven configuration process in a standard setup,
invoke dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. There is a Debian-centered
mailing list, pkg-exim4-users@lists.alioth.debian.org. Please ask
Debian-specific questions there, and only write to the upstream
exim-users mailing list if you are sure that your question is not
Debian-specific. You can find the subscription web page on
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exim4-users
.
exim is a drop-in replacement for sendmail/mailq/rsmtp.
