I tried to use the configuration generator and:
* I answered `no' to `Split configuration into small files?' but:
balvenie:~# find /etc/exim4 -type f | wc -l
39
balvenie:~#
* I answered

Tony Finch, one of Philip Hazel's colleagues, said this to me in IRC:
<Diziet> The exim4 configuration generator is COMPLETELY BARKING.
<fanf2> diziet: yes. shun.
This abomination should be thrown away and rewritten to do as it
promises, and not to generate broken configurations.
