Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.80-7
Severity: important
For checking this bug edit /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:
asd@marian1000:~$ cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.con
$ cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
#
# Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes
# to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your local
# changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that mess
# around with multiple versions of the file.
#
# update-exim4.conf uses this file to determine variable values to generate
# exim configuration macros for the configuration file.
#
# Most settings found in here do have corresponding questions in the
# Debconf configuration, but not all of them.

# This is a Debian specific file

thanks
Closing this non-bug. Running a publicly visible mail server on the
internet needs knowledge beyond exim docs.
