Subject: [EXIM] exim Y2k comment.
There is a comment on the web page:
http://www-th.phys.rug.nl/~schut/gnulist.html
stating that exim is not Y2k compliant:

exim-2.02             1998-09-24   JJ.Schut   NOT-OK  Assumes year between
              1990 and 2090 in  smartuser.c, lines 243+. 
                              if (year < 90) year += 100; 
                              else if (year > 1900) year -= 1900; 


This doesn't make sense to me. If exim is ok until 2090, why is it not y2k
safe ?
(besides the point that using 2 digit years in any context is a Bad Thing).

P.
