The problem here is that the option, when changed, would require sending
a HUP to exim.

A less important issue, but something worth being aware of is that
Exim's configure file should not be writeable by its own UID and GID.
That's easy to get around, by creating a group like eximadm. But how
would you organize the HUP?

Ciao,
