Q5006
Question
Why aren't there any man pages for Exim? I don't always carry my printed documentation.
Answer
A single man page that lists the command line options is provided in file doc/exim.8 in the Exim distribution. Several other forms of online documentation are available. As well as plain ASCII text, the there are two forms - Texinfo and HTML - which have a certain amount of built-in indexing for ease of finding your way around. There are no man pages apart from the command line one because the author of Exim hasn't the time (or desire 
to maintain yet another documentation format. Besides, it is hard to know how to split the Exim manual up.
