The Debian exim4 packages can either use a single monolithic file
(/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template) or about 40 small files in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/ to generate the final configuration.
.
The former is better suited for large modifications and is generally
more stable, whereas the latter offers a comfortable way to make
smaller
modifications but is more fragile and might break if modified
extensively.
.
If you are unsure then you should not use split configuration.
I think the last point sums it up -- use monolithic configuration if
you don't understand what the question is about.
