Compile it with a user/group that exists... Then package the default config
with exim in the user/group fields in the config.

Or better yet... ADD it to the build system during the build process.

Maybe its just me but this seems like a very simple thing to accomplish.

Now connect the dots.

:(
When we are setting exim_user and exim_group in Local/Makefile , make checks
if exim_user and exim_group exist in system on compilation stage(see
src/buildconfig.c).
I'm not expert in C and I can't understand , which parametrs I have to set
in
Makefile to avoid my problem .
