OK got a reply. The only problem is I manually trashed what was in my
'etc/exim4' directory. I've completely purged exim4, but on subsequent
installs, it doesn't set up the required files in '/etc/exim4'. So, I
haven't been able to test David Berg's insructions.

Any idea how to force these files to be configured again ? I wish/wanted
to start from a virgin install. FWIW I've run dpkg-reconfigure exim4 but
it aborts with an error because the configuration files in 'etc/exim4'
don't exist.
