I am not talking about my own exim. On the trade fair I am talking
about, a lot of booths were using Debian for their booth mail server,
and a lot of people in these booths knew that I am the maintainer for
the Debian exim 4 packages. Thus, being on that fair was like running
the gauntlet because every other guy asked me "how can I do ssmtp with
exim".

I'd rather have the possibility to _first_ make mail work and _second_
to educate the network people.
