When debian was installing, I chose no configuration at this time when it
came to setting up exim4 because I had no idea how to set it up.

How do I get it to re-run the configuration?

'dpkg-reconfigure exim4' gets me nothing at all, it appears busy for a sec,
then dies

I'd like to get it configured so that it can replace the Mercury32 mail
server I've got running in windows so that I can spend more time in the
debian partition without having the mail server unavailable.

'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' will do the trick.

Thanks, I'll do that.

Y'know, I'm seeing a trend here, most of these things are, once I see the
answer in front of me, SO flippin obvious it isn't funny. I guess I'm too
used to windows way of being deliberatly obtuse... I'm just gonna have to
change my way of thinking when dealing with Linux.

....guess I spoke too soon...'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' did the same
thing... The system appears busy for a few moments, HD is busy, then the
prompt is returned with nothing that looks like a config running and no
config questions or prompts.

The amount of questions you are asked depends on the priority level
of debconf (you made a decision on that during install ;-))

You might try 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow exim4-config'
(-plow as in "priority low" a.k.a. "ask many questions").
