But the remote_smtp transport runs *as* the exim user, with the assumption that it's not root. This is a safety measure, for security. You do *not* want Exim running as root, normally. It's setuid, so that it can get root privileges when it needs them. The remote_smtp transport is used for delivering email remotely. You can't really change the userid with "user = ..." on remote_smtp because it needs to be able to access the hints databases, which will be owned as the Exim user. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
