Since I do UUCP, all of my installations are non-standard. I run Exim but
Debian does not know that, it thinks I am running smail. I simply
hand-copied the Exim binary into place on the target machines, created the
needed directories, set all permissions as Debian does for exim. I have
Exim facing the internet for SMTP and it hands off mail destined for my
uucp sites to smail which does the routing/spooling. It is really a kluge.
I have never done a proper remove smail / install exim.
All new machine get exim installed straight away if they are not operating
with the uucp nodes.
