If you live on a machine that has a routeable IP address, and a
functioning DNS, then sure, it should Just Work.
OTOH, if you are Joe Consumer getting your i'net connection from
an ISP, then no, It Won't Work. He'll need to send all email thru
his ISP's smtp server.
As Gregory Seidman wrote, OP will have to configure exim4 to be
a smarthost. Thus, when *any* MUA sends email (in sendmail mode),
the MTA (exim4, in this case) will forward the mail to the ISP

material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats
are mean for the fun of it."
