The problem is not the replacement of the "Debian Exim Way", but the sheer 
cluelessnes of some of the people trying to be a mail-admin by just 
following the HOWTO character by character and stumbling into problems 
they are not able to solve themselves, not only because they don't have 
any knowledge (which wouldn't be a problem), but mostly because the don't 
_want_ to gather any further knowledge.

This, combined with a very rough attitude in the maintainers of said 
FAQ/HOWTO, leads to Marcs (understandable) frustration.

Grüße,
Sven.
