Yes, this would be my preferred way to do it too. I'm an exim fan (sort of) and I'm sure it can be done with exim. Btw, I have an intermediate "fake MTA" in my setup anyway for security reasons. Normally exim is installed setuid root and world-executable, and the reason for the latter part is that it needs to act as the submission agent as well; if another simpler program takes over the submission role, exim can be mode 04754 with a dedicated group. -- Ian
