Aihe: Re: [exim] FAQ Q0041, Q0066
that is a pretty good idea actually
the file is readable for exim anyway but the router wants to be run with
user priviliges as it is used for delivery to
so if i have a router that only verifys and one that only delivers that
should work

i ll give it a try

thank s for the advice!! :)
