Understood.

You might be correct. I was trying to honour the principle of not 
editing any of the files under ~/conf.d and keeping all my local 
settings in main/00_local_settings. 

When I saw this:
"This hook allows you to hook in your own ACLs without having to 
modify this file." It looked like what I wanted.

I need some way local users (without shell access) can add users to a 
white list. I thought a file outside the exim4 directory would be 
more secure than local_sender_whitelist as update would be via cgi.

Thanx.
Dp.
