Exactly, but I'm not convinced that preseeding is the right way to do
it. I've suggested a better way to do this a few weeks back on a
discussion that happened on this list and on the pkg-exim4-devel
mailinglist; I'm currently in the process of implementing the proposed
alternative configuration scheme (which is taking me more work than
expected).

Personally, I think having a clearer initial mail configuration, with
the ability to easily set it up so it will know that you don't have your
own mail domain, is a far better way to tackle this issue than to work
around it by trying to avoid that the user sees any mail configuration
at all.
