--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Harris <[email protected]> --- The spool error is for opening the -D file, but we also open the -H right after that. We need to be root at some point after reading the -H file, from which we get the recipients, in case we are to deliver locally and need to become the relevant user. I don't think trying to invent a dance involving another exec, to regain root, and passing open fds or memory segments about, is really tenable (we could afford to hold the -H info in memory. Not so for the -D; it can be MB, even GB). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
