I am upgrading my configuration from a much older version of exim, and now I get this message in my paniclog:
2011-10-10 11:10:07 exim user lost privilege for using -D option I used the -D option to tell exim to deliver large messages. Delivery of large messages is disabled normally. Instead cron regularly starts a background instance of exim running as root with a special -D option that causes it to skip the large message check. The net effect of this is to ensure there is at most one instance exim clogging up my link with the delivery of outbound videos and what not. I gather from the exim's man page that -D option is now frowned upon. In fact if I read it correctly it doesn't work at all unless I do a custom compile setting WHITELIST_D_MACROS. So what is preferred mechanism for giving exim information? Is there another command line switch, or is there some way to extract it from the environment? -- Regards, Russell Stuart -- ## List details at https://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/
