Sean I just keep fetchmail running in the background by putting a "set daemon 300" line in my .fetchmailrc and then running fetchmail from .bash_profile. This fetches mail from all the servers defined in my .fetchmailrc every 5 minutes. To get exim working with your smarthost make a smarthost router with the name of your smart host in the config file. I believe Debian and maybe others ask you how you want your mail server to run and you can choose to use a smart host. Doing it this way makes all the necessary changes to the exim configuration. On Debian you can do "dpkg-reconfigure exim4" and it will ask you the questions again.
