My exim.conf contains a 'never_users = root' and when I set user=root for the sa transport the exim log states 'User 0 set for spamcheck transport is on the never_users list'. If I clear the never_users setting and retry the email, everything works fine! That's good, but I assume the never_users=root is on purpose... Should I leave never_users=root? Can I subsequently give the mail user permission to set the $received_protocol in the transport? Right now if I set 'user = mail' on the transport, I don't think it properly sets the $received_protocol.
