Peter,
Actually that helps a lot more (at least someone like me) then you
realise.
Coming from a Postfix world, Exim is an alien world, and getting
to know how to think in terms of the alien world, rather then just
knowing what to say and what to do, is, in my humble opinion, much better.
From my perspective, Exim seems like a Sendmail with much better
configuration language. I know that "much better" is an understatement.
Gives you the same capabilities to shoot yourself in the foot.
cheers,
