 Be sure to set the $gMailer variable correctly in /etc/debbugs/config.
 The options are (all lower case) exim, qmail and sendmail.

+Exim 4
+------
+The exim 4 setup supports virtual domains. This doesn't hurt on a
+dedicated system. File names are for systems that use exim4's split
+config scheme. If you use something else, you'll need to put the
+configuration options in yourself at the appropriate place (most
+likely /etc/exim4/exim4.conf or /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template).
+
+Create a non-root user with a non-root group as its primary group.
+We'll use Debian-debbugs as the user and group:
+ # adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/debbugs \
+   --no-create-home --disabled-login --force-badname Debian-debbugs
+
+This user needs to be able to write to /var/lib/debbugs.

+DEBBUGS_DOMAIN = <domain name>
+DEBBUGS_USER = Debian-debbugs

+
+The bounce_debbugs router bounces all mail for the DEBBUGS_DOMAIN that
+hasn't been picked up by the debbugs router. If you want addresses
+from that domain that do not belong to debbugs to be handled normally,
+simply omit that router. However, since the pattern on deb debbugs
+router match a significant subset of the domain's local parts, it is
+strongly recommended to use a dedicated domain for debbugs.

-I've seen two types of setting up Exim used.

  1) If the machine is dedicated and all e-mail goes to the debbugs script,
     add this in the transport section:
