Bug#488474: exim4-config: include config of passwd.client and /etc/email-addresses in configuration wizzard

[Paul van Haren]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-5
Severity: wishlist


I'm using a pretty simple set-up, just enough to enable "reportbug" to 
send bugreports. My ISP provides a smarthost, with SMTP authentication 
and no (ssl) security.

I've been messing quite a while with the configuration wizard, 
"dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", to get my settings in place. It took me 
some time to figure out that I need to manually edit 
/etc/exim4/passwd.client and /etc/email-addresses. A dialog in 
exim4-config to accomplish this, or at least a pointer in one of the 
screens would be appreciated.
