If somebody knows better groff +than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches +would be greatly appreciated. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR exim (8), +the files in /usr/share/doc/exim4\-base/, especially Exim4.upgrade.gz + +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was stitched together from Exim4.upgrade by +Andreas Metzler , +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). -- cgit v1.2.3
