+Okay! Happy Hacking!
+Update: If your host shares the domain with an email you use elsewhere, make sure to exclude the main local domains and comment that out.
+  sudo nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
+  domainlist local_domains =
+There is a big mistake above, where I specify for exim4 to listen to nothing instead of everything.  Here is what you need to change:
-Okay! Happy Hacking!
+  sudo nano /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
+  dc_local_interfaces='::::0:0.0.0.0'
+On major system upgrades, exim4 often gets hosed.  Specifically, you need to fully remove and purge it, and then when you reinstall it, the command `dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config` has no ncurses output and just fails.  Here is what I found that works:
+  sudo mv /etc/exim4 /etc/exim4-old
+  sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall exim4-config
+  sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
+Rebuilding again today lol.  Messages won't send from clients using the relay.  Delete these and restart the exim4 service:
+  rm /var/spool/exim4/db/*
+  rm /var/spool/exim4/input/*
+  rm /var/spool/exim4/msglog/*
+  rm /var/log/exim4/*
+  sysemctl restart exim4.service
