That would then be the analogue of "untrusted_set_sender", which makes sense
(I have this turned on for those CGIs which invoke exim directly to send
mail, rather than open an SMTP connection)
So we would end up with a set of features for local and smtp mail which are
the same, but with different names:
local mail smtp mail
---------- ---------
untrusted_set_sender control=submission/return_path_retain
control=suppress_local_fixups omit control=submission
local_sender_retain=true control=submission/sender_retain
local_from_check=false
qualify_domain=xxx control=submission/domain=xxx
Since we now have a non-SMTP ACL, maybe this can be regularised when Exim 5
comes along :-)
