You don't need the 'heavy' version for virtual hosting: it's what I use
and I'm using the 'light' version.
According to "apt-cache show exim4-daemon-heavy":
"In addition to the features already supported by
exim4-daemon-light, the extended features include LDAP, PostgreSQL
and MySQL data lookups, SASL and SPA SMTP authentication, embedded
Perl interpreter, and exiscan-acl for integration of virus-scanners
and spamassassin."
So, if you want 'clever' authentication, use the 'heavy' version; also,
if you want to integrate virus- and spam-scanning directly into the MTA,
you'll need 'heavy'. Note that you can always trigger, say, clamav and
spamassassin from procmail instead, still allowing you to use the
'light' version.
