I think you will find your answer with a clever use of a greping tool
within your favorite pager while looking at the specification file.
Or you could be really bold and look at
www.exim.org -> documentation
section that has a clickable index.
Or you could look at the book.
Or you could check the FAQ.
Or you could check the list archives.
I think I can sum it all up in one swift acronim: RTFM!!!

You're welcome.

Strange. Everybody else seems to manage fine.
