Hello,

fixing the exim privilege escalation bug
http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1044 /might/ break exim's -C (use
an alternate configuration file) or -D (set macro value) command line
options. I am wondering how much collateral damage this would  cause.

Do you know packages that rely on the -D or -C options? For -C
option, in which directory is the alternate configuration file searched
for?

I have already found mailscanner (uses -D) and I think amavisd-new
would continue to work (verification welcome ). Any other candidates?

thanks, cu andreas
