# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:

-# No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
-# separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic error to be logged, and
-# the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic safety catch. There is an
-# even stronger safety catch in the form of the FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting

+# system degrades with many files in one directory, this is less likely to
+# happen; (2) Exim can process the queue one subdirectory at a time instead of
+# all at once, which can give better performance with large queues.
