Hi fellow Debian users ;)

First off some information. (both, the pc and the server run Debian Jessie):

Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 (jessie)
Release:	8.6
Codename:	jessie

Exim:
ii  exim4                            4.84.2-2+deb8u1 
  all          metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installation
ii  exim4-base                       4.84.2-2+deb8u1 
  amd64        support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages
ii  exim4-config                     4.84.2-2+deb8u1 
  all          configuration for the Exim MTA (v4)
ii  exim4-daemon-light               4.84.2-2+deb8u1 
  amd64        lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon


I'm currently playing around with exim4... and to be honest i'm a little 
lost here.
I want to do the following configuration:
Send and deliver local mails between my systems. Currently exim is 
configured as a Internet Server (dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config).
In general i kinda ask myself how i would go about doing that?
I want to send mail from my server to my pc and vice versa, also i want 
to be able to send mail "out" to other smtp servers.

Is Exim here the right choice? (I do think so at least)

To be honest i never played with a smtp server before... so my knowledge 
is a bit foggy :P (Don't worry, i know what a MTA, MUA etc is)

Thank you all in advance for your help ;)

Btw: I will of course provide more information if needed ;)
