Update of /cvsroot/tmda/tmda/htdocs
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv13908
Modified Files:
ChangeLog config-pre.ht config-pre.html
Log Message:
Change the Exim pre-configuration to mention `untrusted_set_sender =
true' as an alternative to `trusted_users' for allowing use of `-f'
under Exim. Suggested by Philip Hazel in
<Pine.SOL.4.33.0111071012160.22227-100000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on the
exim-users list.
The discussion arose because some Exim users were uncomfortable with
setting `trusted_users' simply to allow access to `-f' because it
enabled other privileges and was thus a security concern.
