I use Thunderbird for e-mail, so I have never bothered with configuring
an MTA.

I have a few lines in root's crontab to do periodic backups and I would
like to receive an e-mail when the job is completed.  I have added a
MAILTO line to my crontab with my gmail address.  The job runs, the
backup is created, but I do not receive any e-mail from cron.  I am
assuming that I need to run dpkg-reconfigure on exim4-config, but I
don't want to mess up my e-mail that is going through Thunderbird.

Can anyone tell me how to configure exim4-config to do this, or provide
a link that will rpovide this information?
