I'm installing stuff onto a vserver which I have just got, and according to the
sysadmin at the hosting provider, due to their set-up, I can't configure exim to

In case that doesn't make sense, I mean that I am not supposed to get this
netstat output:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
It should listen like this (or all hell breaks loose on their server farm):
tcp 0 0 10.20.30.40:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
where 10.20.30.40 is the static IP I've been given (which is then NAT'd by the
hosting provider to something else).
My vserver set-up has very simple requirements - I just want the system to send
out emails generated on the system locally, e.g. piping command output to mailx
Try running (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' and follow the
prompts. An explanation of the various options is given in Section 2 of
the file /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.html.
