EXPORTABLE EXIM TEST SUITE
--------------------------
tracks the two users independently. Using the same user would result
in false positives on some tests.
+ Further, some tests invoke sudo in an environment where there might not be
+ a TTY, so tickets should be global, not per-TTY. Taking this all together
+ and assuming a user of "exim-build", you might have this in sudoers:
+
+ Defaults:exim-build timestamp_timeout=480,!tty_tickets
+
(3) The login under which you run the tests must be in the exim group so that
it has access to logs, spool files, etc. The login should not be one of the
names "userx", "usery", "userz", or a few other simple ones such as "abcd"
interface; when one is not found, some tests are skipped (with a warning
message).
+(9) Exim must be built with TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST support, so that the test
+ configs can be placed into it. DISABLE_D_OPTION must not be used. If
+ ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is used, it must contain the directory of the test-suite.
+ WHITELIST_D_MACROS should contain:
+
+ DIR:EXIM_PATH:AA:ACL:ACLRCPT:ACL_MAIL:ACL_PREDATA:ACL_RCPT:AFFIX:ALLOW:ARG1:ARG2:AUTHF:AUTHS:AUTH_ID_DOMAIN:BAD:BANNER:BB:BR:BRB:CERT:COM:COMMAND_USER:CONNECTCOND:CONTROL:CREQCIP:CREQMAC:CRL:CSS:D6:DATA:DCF:DDF:DEFAULTDWC:DELAY:DETAILS:DRATELIMIT:DYNAMIC_OPTION:ELI:ERROR_DETAILS:ERT:FAKE:FALLBACK:FILTER:FILTER_PREPEND_HOME:FORBID:FORBID_SMTP_CODE:FUSER:HAI:HAP:HARDLIMIT:HEADER_LINE_MAXSIZE:HEADER_MAXSIZE:HELO_MSG:HL:HOSTS:HOSTS_AVOID_TLS:HOSTS_MAX_TRY:HVH:IFACE:IGNORE_QUOTA:INC:INSERT:IP1:IP2:LAST:LDAPSERVERS:LENCHECK:LIMIT:LIST:LOG_SELECTOR:LS:MAXNM:MESSAGE_LOGS:MSIZE:NOTDAEMON:ONCE:ONLY:OPT:OPTION:ORDER:PAH:PEX:PORT:PTBC:QDG:QOLL:QUOTA:QUOTA_FILECOUNT:QWM:RCPT_MSG:REMEMBER:REQUIRE:RETRY:RETRY1:RETRY2:RETURN:RETURN_ERROR_DETAILS:REWRITE:ROUTE_DATA:RRATELIMIT:RT:S:SELECTOR:SELF:SERVER:SERVERS:SREQCIP:SREQMAC:SRV:STD:STRICT:SUB:SUBMISSION_OPTIONS:TIMEOUTDEFER:TIMES:TRUSTED:TRYCLEAR:UL:USE_SENDER:UTF8:VALUE:WMF:X:Y
+
+(10) Exim must *not* be built with USE_READLINE, as the test-suite's automation
+ assumes the simpler I/O model.
+ Exim must *not* be built with HEADERS_CHARSET set to UTF-8.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
---------------
(3) Run "./configure" and then "make". This builds a few auxiliary programs
that are written in C.
-(4) Run "./runtest" (a Perl script) as described below.
+(4) echo $PWD/test-config >> your_TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST_filename
-(5) If you want to see what tests are available, run "./listtests".
+(5) Run "./runtest" (a Perl script) as described below.
+
+(6) If you want to see what tests are available, run "./listtests".
BREAKING OUT OF THE TEST SCRIPT
1 difference found.
"test-stdout-munged" contains 16 lines; "stdout/1300" contains 18 lines.

This example was generated by running the test with a version of Exim

The reply to the prompt must either be empty, in which case it takes the
default that is given in brackets (in this case Q), or a single letter, in
-upper or lower case (in this case, one of C, U, or Q). If you type anything
+upper or lower case (in this case, one of C, R, U, or Q). If you type anything
else, the prompt is repeated.
"Continue" carries on as if the files had matched; that is, it ignores the
"Update & retry" copies the new file to the saved file, and reruns the test
after doing any further comparisons that may be necessary.
+"Retry" does the same apart from the file copy.

Other circumstances give rise to other prompts. If a test generates output for
which there is no saved data, the prompt (after a message stating which file is
unexpectely not empty) is:
