I have installed exim v1.82 on redhat linux.
The hostname is mail
The domain is cis.co.uk
I have defined users using the control panel and mail files have been
created for these users in /var/spool/mail.
I have set the sticky bit for /var/spool/mail.
I have amended the local_delivery transport in the exim configuration file
as follows:
local_delivery:
driver=appendfile
file=/var/spool/mail/${local_part}
By executing 'exim -bP' I can verify that local_domains = mail.cis.co.uk
By executing' exim -brw username' I can verify that all the addresses would
be set to username@???
By executing 'exim -v -bt username' I get the following:
username@???
local delivery to username in domain mail.cis.co.uk
director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
Why is it that when I send a mail message to username@??? it just
sits in the exim input spool directory and doesn't get delivered to the
user's mail file in /var/spool/mail?
I've never set up a mail server before and know that I've probably forgotten
something really basic but for the life of me I can't see what it is.
Could someone please advise me?
