The exim docs are real docs. Other OSS project docs are usually a small
bundle of cooking recipes. They give you an initial good feeling but if
you want to go beyond their scope you are left alone.
Exim is the king of features. There is nothing which is not documented.
I agree the learning curve is steep, but it pays off to really READ the
docs from the start instead of searching for some ingredients ... :)
