Upgrade exim -> exim4

[Magnus Therning]

My experience:

I just made the transition yesterday. The configuration has changed in a
major way, but the installation was relativvely smooth (Debian rocks on
this sort of thing). The only problem was that since my system is on a
local network it is invisible from the outside (firewall, masquerading).
So, I had to do some rewriting on Sender:, once I found out that
/etc/mail-addresses is the place to do that (I hope I am right) it was
solved.

Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself.

I know the config has changed. Are you saying that debian auto-converted your
config, and it continued to work OK?

Long-range planning does not deal with future decisions, but with the
future of present decisions.
