Why do you take a random example from a blog while the examples from
the packages have example code to accomplish your goal without
exposing yourself to a security risk?

how do you restart exim4? Do you receive any error messages?

Please help us making the docs better. Provide a patch.

/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, line 104, in the paragraph
titled "How to enable TLS support for exim as server". I'd hardly call
the README file a script.

A newbie shouldn't be running a mail server on the public internet,
and should read the documentation that comes with the package.
README.Debian.gz is _prominently_ mentioned even in the package
description.

What kind of lines do you wish to have added to the documentation?
