Personally, I remove exim4 and install nullmailer which will simply
forward the emails to my "smarthost" or ISP's mail server, or whatever
is needed. If you don't need email to be delivered on the backup server,
then IMHO this is a good choice.

Other than that, it shouldn't be hard to get exim to do the right thing,
just re-run dpkg-reconfigure exim4 or whatever someone else suggested,
and make sure you answer the questions correctly. If you don't know the
answers, then ask your system admin, or ISP, or jump on IRC and ask in
the #debian channel.

Hope that helps...

PS, I think debian is pretty much the most widely used distribution...
though I could be wrong :)

Regards,
Adam
