Correct.  None of us could support exim4, and ended up asking people to take
their doubts elsewhere (like debian-users at d.o).

This also means there is no "HOWTO setup" guide for exim4, so the
recommended MTA for newcomers to Cyrus had to be postfix, really (because
that's what we had docs and the expertise to help people with).

I'd leave it as wishlist, and refuse to change the suggested MTA until
someone that groks exim provides as good documentation for Cyrus+exim4/exim5
as the one we have for postfix *AND* joins the cyrus team.
