It's asking for what networks you're going to be recieving mail from as
a smarthost relay yourself. In my exim.conf it comes out like this:
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16
If you need to figure out what to put after the slash, use a network
calculator.

No, it's your machine's name, if you're serving your own mail. If you
are using fetchmail exclusively for reception, you should go with
Satellite system on the first option, and then it'll ask you where users
will recieve thier mail. This would be your ISPs name, you should use
the same login as your ISP on your system or put
yourispuser: yoursystemuser
in /etc/aliases and run newaliases.

If you don't know, say no here.
