One of the definitions of "list" (noun) in Merriam-Webster is:
1 a : a simple series of words or numerals (as the names
of persons or objects) <a guest list>

The FAQ is the correct step in the general direction. My opinion
is that the manual (which is very good) along with the FAQ are
enough to teach people Exim. And Exim is not the kind of program
which should be studied with quick start guides. "Teach Yourself
