Exim has a good reference manual to those who already understand the
system. The only thing that is missing is some extra
introductory chapters that focus on achieving some example goals. Such
chapters would have lots of examples and with cross references to the
relevant refernce sections. The exiting manual does proving an
introduction to the Exim system and does include examples but manual
as a whole tends to cover things in rather large chunks. The
introductory chapters could gloss over the details to give a aquicker
over view of each feature and how they are use together. A bit like
the sendmail manual published by O'Reilly.
Anyone fancy publishing such a manual.
