I did as suggested, except /usr/sbin/exim instead of just exim.
One way to see if exim is performing local delivery correctly is to
send yourself a message.$ exim pecondon
From: me
Subject: testasfd
^D
$(the ^D is a Ctrl-D, for EOF (End-Of-File)). exim should then
(immediately) deliver that message to /var/mail/pecondon. Whether or
not it does, /var/log/exim/mainlog will have a record of what
happened. Show us the relevant portion of that.After you get local delivery set up, then you can proceed to either
remote delivery or fetchmail configuration (fetchmail should hand off
mail to exim, which then requires local delivery for you to actually
get the message).-D

Failure is not an option. It is bundled with the software.
Immediately upon my pressing ^D, my modem became active
(I have diald running.) But I got interrupted and could not check
mainlog immediately. Several minutes transpired. After that the
message that I sent appeared in the Inbox of my mail account at
my ISP. The tail of mainlog is now:

This doesn't make much sense to me. Except that exim is running, and is not performing local delivery.
What follows is a copy of /etc/exim.conf, but with many comment lines
removed for brevity on the list. I suppose
that anyone who can help me won't need the comments that were put there
by t he Debian install script.
