--> This is what i would do (mainly because i am more current with
postfix - and generally prefer it), I haven't left comments - hopefully
you can see what is going on, but i'll glady add some if needed.
NOTE, i haven't tested the below - but i can't see any obvious reason
why it would fail.
# apt-get remove --purge exim4
# apt-get install postfix
# echo "@startx.co.uk startx" >> /etc/postfix/virtual
# postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
# postfix reload
# echo "startx: john@???" >> /etc/aliases
# newaliases

Ok, if you view the source of that page - you will see that the PHP is
appearing in the source, this means that the code isn't being
interpreted server side as you would expect from PHP. To fix this (in a
standard install), you need to rename index.html to index.php. However,
note that you cannot do a php header redirect - and output text to the
screen at the same time. So to do it this way, you need to JUST have
the php code you have included.
Another, possibly cleaner, solution is to get apache2 to do the redirect
itself.
Add "Redirect /
http://startx.co.uk/Kingsclere" to /var/www/.htaccess or
the apache2 config / virtualhost file.
HTH,
