Some thoughts on this:
I propose an auxilary program exadmin. Exadmin has a separate configuration
file stored in the same place that exim.conf is.
exadmin.conf has the format
admin-stanza{
action=actionlist
group=groupnamelist
user=usernamelist
}
exadmin on startup processes a single request by first checking the user
and group of the requestor, checking whether that action is permitted to
that user, changing uid and gid as appropriate, and executing exim with
appropriate flags.
This would in principle allow varied configuration for different
circumstances.
Such a program make make a good kernel for a curses based admin tool
