I agree that there could be more examples. There is an easy way of doing
this, add stuff to the wiki at:
http://exim.org/
If you think that it is not good enough, will you add to the wiki what you learned
when you worked out how to do something ? I have done so on a few occasions,
I prob ought to do more.
Remember that exim is open source: that includes the documentation as well
as the program source.
