This has gotten me started on the right direction plus, of course, man update-exim4.conf. The important clause, here is
.ifndef DC_eximconfig_configtype DC_eximconfig_configtype=internet .endif This is as opposed to local One other thing is mentioned in the man page that I must do. I run our domain name server and will create an MX record for the dead FreeBSD VM (RIP) so that mail that would have gone to it will go to the Debian box. When you do that, one must make the mailer on the target system aware that it is supposed to receive mail addressed to the system in the MX record. There is dc_other_hostnames for this purpose but it is not a configuration variable as such. If you run update-exim4.conf -oexim4.conf.conf, you don't see the syntax for how to enter this list since it wasn't there to begin with. All the variables are ifthen clauses. Do you just tack this list on at the bottom like dc_other_hostnames deadmouse.okstate.edu or is it more structured? I think that's about all I don't understand for now. In the 13 or 14 years I have been using Linux, this is the deapest I have gotten in to exim. It is certainly different from sendmail but so far, I like it. Anyway, thanks for the help.
