Quoting update-exim4.conf.conf(8) If you are not using split configuration update-exim4.conf concatenates /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros (if this file exists) and /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template (in this order) and makes the debconf re‐ placement described below. For split config one simply generates a new file in the correct directory (conf.d/main for global macros). cu Andreas
