I started a wiki page at;
http://wiki.debian.net/EmailConfiguration
There was a thread on this a little earlier. About the only thing posibily
worth adding (feel free to add this to the wiki page), is aparently woody is
using exim3 which is now unsupported in favor of exim4. exim4 has apparently
slightly changed the config files, requiring a little extra care when
upgrading.
The implications of this are; exim is still under active development (good),
and there is a transition upgrade ahead for exim (simple, complicated?
Generally the Debian packagers do an excellent job of figuring this all out
for you).
