Four years ago means experiences with Sarge-1 or -2. Please don't
extrapolate it to the current situation. IMO the debconf config scripts
from postfix and exim4-config both ask almost the same questions and
expect the same answers.

On my system, Postfix did not the right thing, and Nullmailer did not
either. They failed to send the mails via Smarthost since it was
rejecting them because of wront MAIL FROM info. But how to debug it? I
was not able to fix it in Postfix, and there were no useable debug mode
like in Exim.
And somehow, Exim4 worked without real problems as exim-tls did
before.
