When I installed exim4 it went through the motions of asking me my configuration but did not actually substitute the answers from debconf into the conf.d files. I ended up whatever the configuration files had last and had to go back and hand edit them all to get it to work. he worst part was that I hadn't realized it wasn't working since for some reason it was accepting outside mail but would only deliver locally. Be that as it may I didn't find conf.d daunting after I ripped the debconf mess out. It looked very much like the exim3 configuration file, just in different files and following the standard we've seen in the rc.* directories. I got sa-exim working in short order and was back to where I was with exim3 in about half-an-hour. Anyway, just a random datapoint and not a basis for what should be in sarge. -- Steve C.
