Actually this is the same for all users : There are no .forward files.

Exim's UID is 1000 and the GID is 101. The above command doesn't work:

    mgate1:/home# exim -bP exim_uid exim_gid
    exim_uid is not a known option
    exim_gid is not a known option


exim -bP gives all the info, but not the IDs ...

Bingo! Exim was upgraded to 2.02 and by the looks of it, exim.O was setuid
root, but the new exim didn't get set, or was changed. This fixed things
nicely.

Graeme:

Just FYI

There are no .forward's defined.

It waen't prefixed - looks like a corrupted message in the directory. Why
exim stuck a // on it I'll never know. As a further bit of info, in
eximon, trying to read it, force delivery and remove it did not work for
any option. I went into the directory, moved the single file out (I
thought there sould have been 2 files) refreshed eximon (update) and the
errors disappeared from the log.

Thanks again (and very much) for all you help - It is appreciated.

Steve

Thanks,

Steve
