Re: exim and ntsec


Thanks Corinna,
Forgive my lack of knowledge. I saw the Exim has no root privilege message
but what I can't explain (And I am sure you can) is why I got the same
message when launching exim with ntsec disabled and why It is working well
then ...
Anyway, I will look into the source code ...

Thanks

Thomas
