Mailing List Archive: Syntactic validity of configuration.

In the last two or three weeks I've monkeyed with configuration many
times. As defense against confusion, removed package and purged every
exim file found.

Then installed and configured. Syntax check follows. Probably not
terribly interesting but comments welcome of course.

Thx, ... P.

https://wiki.debian.org/Exim can really help.
Alternatively, you can migrate to the monolithic style of config which
will/might be simpler.
Digging through several directories to find config params is not quite my
cup of tea.
