You mean a multi-users system, where exim is used for submission?
If exim is not setuid root/exim_user then my code won't work
in that situation. It requires either setuid executable or an outgoing
relay,
which would do the job. Same is true with other DB-lookups.
All my experience is based on networked clients which connect to a
daemon
(usually IMAP with submission capability) on a server which has no user
accounts on it.
