Use the force Luke ;)

One of the most impressive things in exim is the extreme flexibility,
one just need to know how to use it.

I think Exim is the only MTA, that could "emulate" other MTAs with such
"tricks", to make it easy to upgrade from one MTA (talking about real
MTAs, not Exchange ;) ) to Exim.
