This would be more what I'd like to see.
My own view (though the questions to the list do not always back it up) is,
that exim is relatively trivial to just get up and working. That is after all
one of its strengths.
I would however, like to see more documentation for some of the more "arcane"
stuff as you put it. This is where the normal manual is weakest (for obvious
reasons).
Equally, you have to be careful about trying to do everything. It
would be an easy trap to fall into, to spend significant parts of the book,
teaching people how email works, regular expressions, network issues and the
like which, perhaps shouldn't be in there as, they are covered well in other
specialist publications.
