Hi Jon,

I think the answer is you don't do this in update-exim4.conf.conf

You need a new router as you have suggested below, and 
update-exim4.conf.conf only selects preconfigured routers in the 
standard configuration.

Are you using the split configuration, your config file below suggests 
not?  I would suggest this would be the way to go to achieve what you 
want.  You can read about it in 
/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/README.Debian.gz.  To select the split 
configuration, edit update-exim4.conf.conf and change 
dc_use_split_config to true, or run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and 
select it there.

Once you have enabled the split configuration, create a file 
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/190_local_smarthost_alpha, and put your 
smarthost_alpha router from below in it.  190 is selected so it comes 
just before 200_exim4-config_primary, which has the preconfigured 
smarthost router in it.  You don't need your own smarthost router in 
this case.

Then just reload exim4 and it should be working.  You can check the 
complete configuration file in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated

Cheers,
Alex
