The problem is that Exim is so flexible. A huge variety of different
configurations can be set up - providing a general tester would be hard.

I do have a test suite for Exim, of course. It now uses nearly 500
different configurations (of various amounts of complexity) to test
things. No, it isn't exportable. It relies too much on the configuration
and other software that is running on my workstation. And on a
"maximally configured" Exim that is unlikely to be used in practice
(supports MySQL and PostgreSQL and LDAP, for example).
