I didn't see "install exim". You see, sendmail is very poor about
dealing with unqualified local email addresses: "root" and yout local
account name won't get relayed to the smarthost unless you set up
aliases or .forwards or other settings for them, anyway.

postfix can handle that, but then it ignores local .forwards and
locally configured aliases. Also unacceptable in my book.

Exim rather easily does both. If you'd like, I'll post my notes on the
configuration.
