Well, lets try it shall we:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]> cd /usr/sbin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]> su
Password:
[marge /usr/sbin]# ls -l exim
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root mail 430740 Jun 9 07:21 exim
[marge /usr/sbin]# chmod 2755 exim
[marge /usr/sbin]# ls -l exim
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 430740 Jun 9 07:21 exim
[marge /usr/sbin]# exit
exit
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]> mail paul
Subject: Test

It appears there is a problem, although arguably in the
implementation.
Source code anyone?
