EXIM documentation is wrong

[Mirza Borogovac]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

On the documentation site, on a page https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/exim4.html instructions will not work if user chooses to not split configuration files. The reason is that if configuration files are not split than files /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions and /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples will not be used to create a config file. Insrtead user should change file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template only.

Additionally, in order for outside mail client to be able to connect to new exim server, new user needs to be added into exim by

sudo /usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/exim-adduser

Users should protect new exim password files with

 sudo chown root:Debian-exim /etc/exim4/passwd
sudo chmod 640 /etc/exim4/passwd

The Ubuntu Documentation team has moved the serverguide out of the ubuntu-docs source, it is now under the serverguide project. Moving this bug accordingly.

IMHO:

I believe you need a user so I added the command set. In this branch for the command to added user.
