題目: [Exim] Security Considerations (AUTH + shadow)
Hiya,

After some time, I've managed to get AUTH working for
plaintext (no need for MD5 at the mo). However, in order
to do so I've had to +r my /etc/shadow config. This is because
exim runs as UID/GUID 8 (mail). Is there anyway I can make
this more secure? How about I add mail to the shadow group
(which has default r access to the shadow file) Would that help
or make no difference?

Any advice would be appreciated...
