the command

exim -be

lets you experiment with that stuff.

if you install "rlfe" then

rlfe exim -be

gives a much improved user interface. (with history and editing)

a brief test shows that this works:

# echo "accept message=hello" > /tmp/foo
# exim -be
> ${acl {/tmp/foo}}

hello

demo as root but also works as user of you use the path to exim.
