The trusted users can be set with the following in a Exim4 configure
file with the following setting. Below is mine.
trusted_users = root:mailman:www:majord
In this case, root, mailman, www and majord are set as trusted. On my
systems this means
root
mailman (one mailing list)
majord (majordomo mailing list)
www (My Apache server is owned by www:wwwgroup)
So if the user you are using is not listed as a trusted_users, it won't be
trusted.
Without this setting normally only root and the exim user are trusted
however any user can use -f with <>.
Note that there is another setting that I've not used before called
untrusted_set_sender which allows you to let any sender use the -f
option.
