The MTA should still know the UID its invoked under - exim will have 
the same Sender: problems as a straight CLI, and so the invoking user 
will still need to be trusted (or your MTA's equivalent).

Also any loading issues from command line invocation still apply to an 
"mta -bs" invocation - although its probable that I am simply overly 
paranoid about this.
