Uncommenting and masking them with ifdef/endif is a nice idea, and I
will try to remember doing so whenever a configuration file is changed
anyway. This will allow local admins to choose their own feature set
without having to edit the actual config file itself, thus preserving
the debconf magic.

I won't, however, couple sender deny rules to any debconf question
since I don't like having the Debian exim 4 configuration reject
messages by default. This is a can of worms, and I'd rather refrain
from touching it.

Greetings
Marc
