(its a full blown mail server / macro language)

Hi Phil,
mate you can edit that file all you like shes not gunna touch it (well not in a good sense) ...
best edit the stuff under /etc/exim/

I use the split conf style as then its in easier to digest pieces.
On this debian system the single conf style uses :
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

They both should reference update.exim4.conf.conf
Read the head of that file(s)

yeah its a little bizzzaaar at first but actually works really well :)
