Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
+ 5. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.

New Features in Exim
--------------------
file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
+Version 4.44
+------------
+
+ 1. There is a new build-time option called CONFIGURE_GROUP which works like
+ CONFIGURE_OWNER. It specifies one additional group that is permitted for
+ the runtime configuration file when the group write permission is set.
+
+

# The Exim mail transport agent #
# CONFIGURE_OWNER=
-# If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER as a name, this is looked up at build time,
-# and the uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that
-# this lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is
-# built into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
+# If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
+# is owned by root or the Exim user. You can specify one additional permitted
+# group owner here.
+
+# CONFIGURE_GROUP=
+
+# If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
+# up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
+# However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
+# case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
+# setting of the form:
# CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
+# CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
-# In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. Although this costs a
-# bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
-# building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the name may
-# refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system where
-# the relevant user is not defined.
