Newbie to newbie: If you carefully read the first "chapter" of
the "info" document--the two or three pages describing exim's
structure and the path taken by messages through the system--
much will become clear and you will be surprised at how you
suddenly know pretty much where to look for a lot of little
things. Yes, there are a zillion keywords with names that at
first seem obscure, but if you have a rough cognitive map for
them to fit into, they will snap in practically voluntarily.
