Bug#342061: exim4-config: word choice for configuration questions

Package: exim4-config
Version: pulled in by etch installer daily build
Severity: minor

debconf says "Please eneter here the networks of local machines for which you accept to relay mail." 

I think you "EXPECT to relay mail."  But maybe you mean "accept OR
relay mail"?

Also, the use of "you" vs. "us" appears inconsistent.  The sentence
just quoted uses "you," but the next sentence ("... list of all
machine that will use us as a smarthost") uses "us."  3rd sentence has
a you that is clearly addressed to the person sitting at the keyboard.

By the way, as someone who complained that the meaning of the
different host types was unclear post-installation, I should say they
seemed pretty clear on the debconf screens.  Or maybe I'm just getting
used to it :)
