Marc,

OK - perhaps I/(we?) overlook that it isn't *always* split config, and I've 
reviewed enough of the work to recognize it was neither an idle time-waster nor 
done without a lot of dedicated effort.

But at some point you've got to recognize that if/as/when those using the 
'stock' Exim configure methodology even *try* to aid a Debian-Exim-config user, 
  - which is not even ALL Debian-Exim users - without *at least* the caveat:

'Your environment may be very different'

- we are odds-on to get our underwear - and theirs - wrapped around the drive 
axles.

A Windows SI - feeding his family on a far more exasperating OS - passed 
something on to me recently:

"One of the definitions of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and 
over and expect a different outcome each time."

- Windows ain't changing.

- Debian ain't changing.

- Exim JFW either way - so long as one pays attention.

Let's at least stop kvetching at each other about the 'different outcome' 'coz 
that ain't happening *either*...

Regards,

Bill
