Subject: [Exim] Sanity Check - Mailer-Daemon
I have a disturbing question and a sanity check for my mind will do.
Maybe even some flaming! for some novice-ish questions.

Ideally, what should happen when an e-mail is sent to Mailer-Daemon?

Here is my story:

exim_user = exim

Q1. Exim runs as $exim_user, so when it accepts an e-mail submission to send
out, does it send out that mail as $exim_user, Mailer-daemon, or as the
user who submitted the initial e-mail?

Q2. What should (ideally) happen to mail that is addressed to $exim_user?

Q3. What should (ideally) happen to mail that is addressed to Mailer-Daemon?


Much thanks

There is a great discovery still to be made in Literature: that of
paying literary men by the quantity they do NOT write.
