    You changed it yourself. And the line says 'remove or comment out' not
    'change to 1', because above that line is the real line with an exim
    expansion string that triggers on incomming mail f.e.

    FEATURE REQUEST:
    Please add question if user wants to enable sa-exim upon
    install (via dialog, readline ...)

    That is virtually impossible to do. The user *NEEDS* to read, understand
    and change the sa-exim.conf file to his needs before it can be safely
    enabled.

    If I allow some luser to enable sa-exim without changing sa-exim.conf,
    it might start dropping mail that shouldn't be dropped, for example.

    So, either I enable sa-exim.conf by default and put absurd values in the SA-scores to teergrube/reject/drop mail, or I keep it disabled, and
    require the user to read sa-exim.conf to enable it.

    I like the latter.

    Regards,
    Sander.
