Phil, is it reasonable to expect that in running Exim processes,
libraries searching for configuration files in user home directories
should expect to find either $HOME=~exim or getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir=~exim?
MTAs are complex, and tend to run with different identities at
different times (e.g. when delivering mail to commands in .forward
files, ...) and I don't know whether it is reasonable to expect a constant
$HOME in a running Exim process. Since my expertise is with Postfix and
OpenSSL, not Exim, I'll leave that question to others.
