Exim 4 has been released for 2 years, and as far as a know, nobody has
previously remarked on this. Now, what the heck *was* nobody_user? I
cannot remember... the Exim 3 manual doesn't even jog my memory (it
talks about running processes as "nobody", but I can't remember when
Exim 3 wanted to do that). The Exim 4 update document talks about the
queryprogram router.

What exactly are you trying to do? If you alias an address to a pipe,
the delivery runs via a particular transport. You can set the user on
the transport.
