# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'

# Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes
# to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your local
# changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that mess
# around with multiple versions of the file.

# update-exim4.conf uses this file to determine variable values to generate
