this will give pretty good control over exim daemon's behavior without
having to change the conffiles /etc/init.d/exim and /etc/cron.d/exim.
This conforms to Debian policy.

The exim package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/420191 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
