exim-using packages - are you relying on -C or -D options?

Hello,

not talking about packages but about daily use…

I didn't follow the whole discussion, I just wanted to note, that there
*should* be a possibility to start exim with an alternative config file.

This is used for just checking the config file before moving it to the
final place, and for some test installations or even running exims on
different IPs with different configs.
