Newbie exim setup question

I'm using qpsmtpd for my incoming mail on latest Fedora FC8.

I've switched to running exim by:

alternatives --config exim
chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig exim on
service exim restart

and exim appears to be running well.

My questions relate to integrating the two, so exim only handles
outgoing email routing local domain mail to qpsmtpd (port 25).

1) Looks like all I require to do in exim.conf is set primary_host
and then domain list to include all the local domains I'll be
sending email from 127.0.0.1

2) Please point me to the docs which describe how to change exim.conf
to send all remote mail by normal queuing

and how to have all domainlist (local) domains passed through port 25
to be processed by qpsmtpd

Many thanks.

on google you'll find lots of configurations to relay outgoing mails.
Just use it and turn the routers around to do the oposit (ie do it for
localdomains)

I'd use something like this as router:

local_relay:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
domains = +local_domains
route_data = localhost

put that before your dnslookup router. or maybe after, so you can remove the
domains= part.
