some people have frowned at the security in exim ? funnily
enough, this came up on the exim mailing list in the summer;
despite desperate pleas for information, nobody came back with
anything concrete.

try and persuade the various people to document the security hole
and send it to the exim list, and bugtraq --- there's a large
number of people who would like to see it fixed (if it exists).

no exim isn't secure. neither is qmail, postfix, or sendmail. the
best they can hope for is 'no known security problems' --- and
exim has no known security problems.
