Should be more efficient. No need to startup the deliver program each
time a message is delivered.
The cyrus imap mail archives can probably help (give you better info)
with that question. :-)

>>>Ack! I'm retarded. I mistakenly set user=mail instead of user=exim (DUH!). When user=exim in the sa transport all works as expected, quite handy dandy. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks to Kirill, Patrick, Matthew, and Tony for their patience and helpfulness.

I suspect other more advanced users (read: more competent) haven't had the problems I have run into, but as a relative newcomer I found it difficult to find all the right information to glue these pieces in place. Let me know and I can put together a howto.

>>>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.
