Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-8sarge2
Severity: normal


sendmail and the sendmail man page are links to the corresponding exim
files, but the manpage for exim has no reference to exim being called as
sendmail. The exim man page documents calling exim as exim4, mailq, rsmtp,
rmail, runq, and  newaliases. But not sendmail.
Please document exim called as sendmail, and what the equivelant exim
switches would be. In particular how to call exim as sendmail to send
messages from the commandline.

harvesting from bugs.debian.org, you must include "Bug#", without the

Automated messages sent by the emial list daemon already do this.
Thank You.		Brian McDonald
