I'm also somewhat sceptical of the need for splitting exim-users. MBM's
point about thread drift makes me think it would be futile. WRT the list
being "intimidating", there is more flaming than I would like, but I think
the regulars are reasonably tolerant of answering "simple" questions
already. We don't respond with RTFM, we respond with a reference to the
configuration option that the questioner needs to know about. The
documentation is already very good so I see little point in paraphrasing
it.
The kinds of questions that Jason lists in his more recent post seem to me
to be the bread and butter of exim-users.
