- * ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is no longer optional and is forced on; the Exim
-   user can no longer use -C/-D and retain privilege.
+ * The ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY build option is no longer optional and is forced
+   on; the Exim user can, by default, no longer use -C/-D and retain privilege.
+   Two new build options mitigate this.
+
+    * TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST defines a file containing a whitelist of config
+      files that are trusted to be selected by the Exim user; one per line.
+      This is the recommended approach going forward.
+
+    * WHITELIST_D_MACROS defines a colon-separated list of macro names which
+      the Exim run-time user may safely pass without dropping privileges.
+      Because changes to this involve a recompile, this is not the recommended
+      approach but may ease transition.  The values of the macros, when
+      overriden, are constrained to match this regex: ^[A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*$

 
  * The system_filter_user option now defaults to the Exim run-time user,
    rather than root.  You can still set it explicitly to root and this
    can be done with prior versions too, letting you roll versions
    without needing to change this configuration option.
