[PLUG] exim4 conf (Debian)

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I have the following line in /etc/aliases, convenient for certain list
subscriptions. ;-)

    devnull:  /dev/null

Exim4, however, doesn't like this, complaining that file_transport
router isn't set.  No problem.  I see in
400_exim4-config_system_aliases that I need to set
SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT, so in update-exim4.conf.conf I add this line

    SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT='address_file'

and run update-exim4.conf.  (Note that much of this is Debian-ism.)

But that doesn't have a noticeable effect.  Is this not the intended
way to update these things?

I have found lots of exim4 docs, but I haven't found any that outline
exactly how to interact with the Debian configuration scheme.

Thanks much for any tips.
