There is no "flame war" going on here.
Someone posted an explanation about how Exim works and another person said
it was wrong but did not explain *how* it was wrong.
Anyone can say "RTFM". If that's all people are going to do, then what's
the point of the list?
It is a *generalized* user list, not a specialized one dealing only in
advanced topics.
And just *where* do you get off telling *me* what I can do with
un-solicited mail that is sent to *my* mailbox and thus belongs
to *me*.
I didn't invite you to post to me. I invited you to post to the list by
posting to it.
