I'm planning to replace sendmail with exim and am investigating
the impacts on other software such as procmail.
I read in the archives of exim-users that procmail should be
recompiled in order to 'trust the exim user' so as to prevent
delivering under root's uid. Is this still necessary and, if so,
how does procmail get configured to do this before re-compiling?
Edit the config.h file in the source tree. Not too far down you'll see
something like this:
#define TRUSTED_IDS {"root","daemon","uucp","mail","x400","network",\
"list","slist","lists","news",0}
Change the list to fit your needs, perhaps to something as simple as:
#define TRUSTED_IDS {"root","exim","slist",0}
(slist is the normal user for running SmartList.)
