otoh, the vast majority of exim users is too stupid or too lazy to
read the docs. We already have like three people per day asking how to
get rid of the "no mail to remote domains" error message. This is
going to get much worse, if we require people to type something as
cryptic as "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", which is mentioned in the
docs, to get a working e-mail system.

That being said, I am not too convinced that this change will be right.

Greetings
Marc
