I'm using the debian woody package, and I wouldn't like to recompile
exim. Now I set exim_user in the "bulk" config file to www-data and
gave the spool and log directories to the www-data user. In that way
everything works, included mailq -C /path/to/my.cfg. Is this ok or are
there any extra precautions I should take?
