Hi anyone,

I'm running exim 1.58 on FreeBSD (2.1.5 release), and it's working fine,
except it won't deliver to users on the machine it's running on. The
mainlog records this entry for local-user-to-local-user attempts:

1996-11-27 19:57:08 0vSq6W-0007mL-00 <= philip@??? U=philip
P=local S=463
1996-11-27 19:57:08 0vSq6W-0007mL-00 == paul@???
T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: creating lock file hitching
post

and this for root-to-local-user:

1996-11-27 20:00:08 0vSq9Q-0007mZ-00 <= root@??? U=root P=local S=460
1996-11-27 20:00:08 0vSq9Q-0007mZ-00 == paul@???
T=local_delivery defer (-1): Retry time not yet reached

This happens whether the program is compiled to run as exim or uid unset.

Any clues?

Philip
