I'm sorry.
It's me again :)
Why we have to know a correct uid/gid at the building time if we can later
specify an other uid/gid/user/group parameters on the shipping host when we
run exim daemon?
If I've built exim with EXIM_UID/EXIM_GID=12345 and then run it on shipping
host with exim_user/exim_group = exim(setting these options in exim.conf)
where exim's UID=120 and GID=130 - is it will be wrong?


P.S.Sorry for my english
