exim has its own filter facility, that is easier to understand and use
by new users.

I use smartlist myself, but I heard others (like mailman) are
better. The Exim list uses mailman IIRC.

It is the most used one. One could argue if this is the best one for

task. Therefore, the maintainer of the task package makes a choice for
the user selecting the package.
