As at least one other person thought this was a good idea, I have implemented support for this, but not exactly you did it, which wasn't really in the right place. Apparently, the facility is available on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS (aka BSDI). I have therefore enabled it for those three systems. On those systems, there is a new option for the pipe transport, called use_classresources. If it is set TRUE, then the code that you supplied will be obeyed, but only for pipe processes. (It happens in a setup function for the pipe transport, not in the general "change uid" function.) As I am unable to test whether this works, I would like somebody to try it out. The new code is commited to the CVS, so it will be in the automatic snapshot that will be taken at 03h15 UTC tonight (my night). The snapshot will end up in ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/Testing/exim-snapshot.tar.bz2 Philip -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
