Some of them are obviously non-writeable ($tod_xxx), others would probably cause internal problems if changed arbitrarily ($message_id), and so on. I am not sure there are too many that could usefully be changed, and people might be confused as to which could and which couldn't. Besides, it would all have to be documented. I can see your point about "set authenticated", but as an OP pointed out, it isn't too hard to wrap it all up in macros. It also seems somewhat wrong to pretend SMTP authentication has happened when it hasn't. I have noted this on the Wish List for the record, however. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
