exim4 configuration in sid

["Michael Marsh" <michael.a.marsh@gmail.com>]

Hi all.

I've recently had to re-install, due to a drive failure, and as usual
the hardest thing to configure properly is exim4.  Even with the exact
same configuration as my previous setup (I've been doing full backups
of /etc), I can't get it to work.

I'm seeing two problems currently:

1) There's nothing in /var/mail (I've configured exim4 to use the
traditional /var/mail mbox spools).

2) Messages that should be delivered locally (eg, output from
debsecan) are being addressed to "user@empty", which exim4 is trying
to relay through my ISP's smarthost.

Thanks in advance.
