I have question on this - you seem to be relying that the home directory
is always in the 3rd field. From what I've seen, the ordering of the
fields is arbitrary...
Now, I seem to remember dimly some way of extracting fields by namefrom
this sort of data:
eg field1=data field2=otherdate anotherfield=something)
from within exim directly - does anyone have a pointer for that or am I
just hallucinating?
