All you have to do is edit one setting in the Local/Makefile and
rebuild exim. If you use rpms, then get the srpm, install it, find
the spot right before the make occurs, and insert a command to edit
the Local/Makefile. Build it and install it.

Keep in mind that I am not attacking your opinion. As sysadmins, we
all have things that we choose to do that are odd, non-standard, and
even sometimes unsafe because it makes the business flow better.
Rather, I'm curious about the desire to lash out at us for making a
security minded decision as if we were doing it to spite *you*.
