-# 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. 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

-# root privilege will fail, owing to the use of -C or -D by the Exim user.

-# calls for receiving a message and subsequently delivering it.
