If you're planning on using Debian and Exim, note that the packagers of
Pkg-exim4 really have done some rather "strange" things to it (or as I
usually put it "really fucked up a perfectly fine MTA, compared with the
BSD packagers"), so do read the readmes, although, if you've got the
inclination, I'd suggest steering clear of pkg-exim4, and compiling your
own.

Rolling out your own exim4.conf/config file may help alieviate some of
(what I'd call) the muppetry, but still there are other "brokennesses",
which can often be fixed by adding things to the "Debian-exim" group,
and set-gid'ing.

(we all have our prejudices, and preferences: I just really hate what
the Debian packagers have done).
