I just read it :)

In marketing speak, I don't really see an "added value" for exim 
customers. The centralized policy management is the only slight 
advantage, and you could even do that in exim proper via an external ACL 
file that is somehow auto-replicated or accessed centrally.

By outsourcing ACL processing, you lose some of exims big advantages 
(builtin SQL/LDAP lookups, host/domainlists, router verify). And despite 
of what they say in that document, this will be much slower than native 
exim ACL processing.
