Exim4 package for Debian Linux

Note
This page used to be the home of main unofficial debian exim4 package, but thanks for the effort of several people, there is finally an exim4 package in debian unstable. See this page for details
I am not using or maintaining the packages listed on this page anymore, you can play with them, but don't Email me to ask for help

Note

So, what did I put in this page?

I have an old package that can be installed in addition to the exim/exim 3 package, see these quick instructions. You can also get the debian tree if you want to rebuild the package yourself.
The two things to know if you are going to use this package is that you need to symlink /usr/lib/exim4/exim to /usr/sbin/exim, and you need to have your config file in /etc/mail/exim4.conf
That said, you're probably better off with my newer exim 4.10 package which is a standalone exim4 package (conflicts with the exim (3) package), so it's cleaner, and it also contains sa-exim compiled as a loadable module.
This is the link to my latest exim and eximon debian packages (current version: 4.10-6mm). If you want to rebuilt the package or modify it, you can get the debian subtree here (just untar it in your exim source distribution dir, and type debian/rules binary)
The newer exim packages contain very detailed and configurable exim4.conf. It should work out of the box on most machines and let you maintain different configurations off one config file. See this for details

You can also browse all my exim files here
