Endorsements for The Exim SMTP Mail Server

It's an excellent, well-structured book. Even for an experienced Exim administrator it serves as a great refresher. The specification itself, like all specifications are, and with good reason, is is rather dry. Excellent reference material, and the spec is some of the most excellent
reference material on any software I've ever encountered, on it's own is not enough to feed you ideas.

The book exceeds my expectations.

the book is simply amazing. I find the format/style/whatever
100x better than [other] documentation.
