from spec.txt (that you could have looked up)
never_users Type: string list Default: unset
Local message deliveries are normally run in processes that are setuid to
the recipient, and remote deliveries are normally run under Exim's own uid
and gid. It is usually desirable to prevent any deliveries from running as
root, as a safety precaution.
When Exim is built, an option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS can be set
to a |
list of users that must not be used for local deliveries. This
list is |
fixed in the binary and cannot be overridden by the configuration
file. By |
default, it contains just the single user name 'root'. The
"never_users" |
runtime option can be used to add more users to the fixed list.
|
|
If a message is to be delivered as one of the users on the fixed
list or |
the "never_users" list, an error occurs, and delivery is
deferred. A |
common example is
|
|
never_users = root:daemon:bin
|
|
obviously the answer to your problem is *not* to change
FIXED_NEVER_USERS at compile time, but something else, that does not
require re-compilation, and that I leave to you as an exercise.
[as a hint, you should never be logged in as root, certainly not to
check email, but still you must be able to read mail for root, as
some processes send mail to it...]
(Oh, and could you please sign with your real name..)
