Problem with dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Question

Exim

I'm trying to configure exim4 to work via gmail (debian lenny), but there is a strange problem with dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config - you run it, it shows a selection screen (smart host, local etc) and immediately exits back to the terminal. Sometimes it starts and after the first choice it falls out the same way. What's going on with him?

here are the permissions in etc/exim4:

/etc/exim4# ls -l

Answer 1

show with what words the terminal comes to the end. maybe you had postfix installed

Answer 2

blacked out the hostname - the server is not mine, well, just in case. But ^[[?1;2c and what's after - appears after the launch. The system is new - exim4 is working now, sending from the server normally.
You start, beep and exit immediately. Sometimes it starts up and lets you choose something on the first screen and exits the same way, and does not remember anything.

Answer 3

this config edits the entry in /etc/exim4/vim update-exim4.conf.conf
you can edit it manually. here is my
config
