Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

There is an error in the commandline examples given for setting up Exim4 for mailman in the Ubuntu Server Guide.

" Once Exim4 is installed, you can start the Exim server using the following command from a terminal prompt:

sudo apt-get /etc/init.d/exim4 start"

apt-get doesn't accept /etc/init.d/exim4 as a parameter, and I'm sure the correct command is:

sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 start

This bug is present in the online 7.10 documentation as well as the yelp docs installed with 7.10.
