+PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
+      Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
+      security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
+      own account.  When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
+      Exim, this might be an issue.  Set this option in main configuration
+      AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
+      processing options.
