Chapter 2 reviews the choices when "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" executes. Section 2.1.5 covers "a completely different configuration scheme". Neither helps. "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" doesn''t set the parameters I need. "A completely different configuration scheme" is too radical. I need only to set a few parameters. Does anyone know where the syntax & semantics of the configuration parameters for Debian exim4 are specified? Seeing that daemon_smtp_ports fails in update-exim4.conf.conf I should try them in exim4.conf.template. With enough trial and error, the answer might turn up. Thanks, ... Peter E.

I''d suggest setting the SMTP ports on the daemon command line in /etc/default/exim4. This is, at least, what I usually do.

You can see the new documents linked from the Debian Exim4 home page.
