Exim Packages for Debian
Exim is the MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) installed by default on new Debian installations. On this web page, the Debian exim maintainers would like to deliver information important for users and developers.
The packages are named exim4 for historical reasons.
There are lots of excellent documentation for exim. The first file to read under Debian is README.Debian (linked below) Then one ought to read the specification file; /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt
Please note that the debian configuration is different from the default exim configuration found on other systems. This is why it is imperative that one reads the debian documentation when setting up exim.
User Information
The Debian Exim Package FAQ is a good starting point for Debian-exim specific issues.
The file "README.Debian" distributed with exim4 has a lot of useful information. Go read it. It can be found on your system in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz. This version is guaranteed to fit your installation.
NEWS.Debian (/usr/share/doc/exim4-(base||config||daemon-(light||heavy))/NEWS.Debian.gz) is another must-read which currently contains information that should be moved to the Debconf templates in due time.
User-Level Discussion Mailing List. Please note that you're going to be ignored if you ask questions that are clearly answered in the docs. This especially goes for the information given in README.Debian as mentioned above.
- There is also the IRC channel #exim on the libera.chat IRC network. When you come there, please say that you're a Debian user and read whatever is mentioned in the channel topic.
Package Hints
To repeat the debconf configuration, use dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config.
Developer Information
