I have no idea who generated a man page for eximstats. It is a Perl
script that is maintained by Steve Campbell (cc'd). Its documentation is
simple, and is obtained by running "eximstats --help". Eximstats is
part of the Exim distribution, and all that is distributed is the Perl
script. Presumably somebody who packages up Exim has decided that there
should be a man page. Perhaps you can discover by looking at the
distribution where you found the broken man page. I'm afraid there is
nothing that I can do about this.

Regards,
Philip
