Quoting
http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_exim_command_line.html
:

    -m
    This is apparently a synonym for -om that is accepted by Sendmail,
    so Exim treats it that way too.

According to page 1M-528 of
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19457-01/801-6680-1M/801-6680-1M.pdf ,

-om is the command line option for m processing option. And m processing
option does what exim's -om does.

    m  Send to ‘‘me’’ (the sender).  Send message to "me" if the sender is in
       an alias expansion. 

In short, no need for it to be apparently.
I suggest to replace

    -m
    This is apparently a synonym for -om that is accepted by Sendmail,
    so Exim treats it that way too.

with

    -m
    With Sendmail, -om command line option is like m processing option.
    so Exim treats -m that way too.
