you need to use "a file called "/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros",
which will then get included in the autogenerated config file". I've

/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf is for configuring how Debian's exim4
basically works for sending or receiving mail, not for setting exim4
specific parameters which modify the sending or receiving.
