I'm using exim for local mail delivery, so that the cron jobs can mail me their output. But all my mail goes via external hosts directly -- and this is configured in my Emacs only. The reason is that it was easier for me to configure Emacs correctly than to configure Exim correctly. Should Exim have additional features so it can handle your machine? Anyway, if you normally send mail thru Emacs, there won't be a problem. This feature would use compose-mail, like everything else in Emacs that sends mail, so these messages would go through your setup and would work.
