The main thing I remember is that > a trusted user is allowed to specify an arbitrary envelope sender > using the -f command line option. other users (not listed in trusted_users) can still set a sender with -f on the command line, but exim will insert a "Sender: " header indicating who sent the message. So the envelope will still be as specified on the command line, but the non-trusted_user can be more easily identified. As dman says, check the spec for the full spiel. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
