-# If you uncomment the following line, only root may use the -C or -D options
-# without losing root privilege. The -C option specifies an alternate runtime
-# configuration file, and the -D option changes macro values in the runtime
-# configuration. Uncommenting this line restricts what can be done with these
-# options. A call to receive a message (either one-off or via a daemon) cannot
-# successfully continue to deliver it, because the re-exec of Exim to regain
-# root privilege will fail, owing to the use of -C or -D by the Exim user.
-# However, you can still use -C for testing (as root) if you do separate Exim
-# calls for receiving a message and subsequently delivering it.
+# When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
+# file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
+# privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
+# drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
+# contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
+# option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
+# CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
+# the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.

+# By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
+# to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
+# the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
+# default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
+# configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
+# That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
+#
+# As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
+# WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
+# which are permitted to be overriden from the command-line which will be
+# honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
+# time.
+# Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
+# command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
+#
+# This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
+# only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
+# encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
+# upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
