I like this solution and I'm trying it out. The only problem is that
exim drops all privileges when given the -C option, but I'm feeding mail
to the queue using "/usr/sbin/sendmail -f <sender> <addrs...>" from a
php script running as www-data.
I do not want to recompile a custom copy of exim and I do not want to
write a setuid exim wrapper; should I just make the new spool dir
writable by www-data or is there another way to do it?
