--- Comment #1 from Phil Pennock <pdp@???> ---
Most of these changes are needed, thank you. A few comments:

"fulfill" is US English, the Exim manual biases strongly towards UK English, in
which "fulfil" is correct. http://grammarist.com/spelling/fulfil-fulfill/
I'm dropping this change from the patch.

"e.g.", "eg." and "eg" are all fine, I have no strong opinion and am happy to
apply this change.

"mis-configuration" was correct, but it appears that "misconfiguration" is also
likely correct:
<https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/7685/is-misconfigured-a-word>
I'll apply this change.

While "uniqueification" is not a word, its meaning is likely clear, and is not
the same meaning as "unification". We're not combining, we're making distinct.
This change would reverse the meaning, so I'm dropping it. If you have
suggestions for better phrasing, we should take that.

With the "fulfil" and "uniqueification" changes dropped, I've applied this
patch and pushed it. Thanks!
