I didn't say it hould be more difficult to configure. I said it should
make it more difficult to do such stupid things with such core critical
error handling features of the protocol.

Sure, that's all fine and well, but if Exim continues to tie hangman's
nooses around naive people's necks and suggest they yell "Giddiup!" to
their horse then something's wrong with Exim, not with those poor
hapless souls.
Other mailers don't make this error quite so easy and enticing.
That said though, if the really big culprit here is only cPanel then
they deserve even more ire, fire, and flame, but correcting the fault in
Exim that makes this so easy would still help force them to at least see
the error of their ways.
