exim: misleading package description?



satan$ dpkg -p exim
(snip)
Description: Exim Mailer
 This MTA is rather easier to configure than smail or sendmail.
 It is a drop-in replacement for sendmail/mailq/rsmtp.
 Advanced features include the ability to reject connections from
 known spam sites, and an extremely efficient queue processing
 algorithm.


i'm looking at:

	Advanced features include the ability to reject connections from
	known spam sites

exim can use rbl to reject msgs from spam sites.  but so can every other MTA.

exim doesn't have a "spam reject" file that i can drop IP addresses into.
exim doesn't use tcpwrappers to reject SMTP sessions.

what exactly are some of these advanced features then?
