The answer is: I'm using -D switch in the commandline, so exim
drops root privelegies.
But I start exim as root (real uid & euid), so I do not want that
he drop root privelegies. Now it cannot restart by SIGHUP on config
change (permission denied on bind()).
What should I do for run exim with macros or alter config and with
root privelegies?
