This is probably common knowledge, but I recently discovered the -u flag. This is handy, since I routinely use three different smarthosts. So when I plug my laptop into a different network, I switch the comments in my /etc/exim4/update.conf.conf file to point to the right smarthost: dc_smarthost='smtp1.ns.sympatico.ca' #dc_smarthost='smtp.smu.ca' #dc_smarthost='mailhost.mcgill.ca' and then run dpkg-reconfigure -u exim4-config This way, dpkg-reconfigure just switches the smarthost, without making me answer a bunch of questions about things that don't change. At some point I suppose I should write a script that will check which network I'm on and invoke dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config with the right options, but I'm not sure how to do that yet - any hints welcome!
