Dear folks,
here is another problem. I've moved from Sendmail to Exim about a week ago.
All mail-files in my /var/spool/mail had the uid of the local mailuser and
the gid "mail".
After setting up exim there were no problems for exim using these
mailfiles, but today a problem appeared in the mainlog concerning a wrong
uid/gid. The msg. got frozen.
The uid & gid of the msg. file were set to nothing different from the other
~1000 Mailfiles (s.a. owner/mail).
For testing purposes I deleted this mailfile and melted the msg. Exim
created mailfiles with uid/gid of nobody/nobody.
What's frong with THIS local mailuser?
I did not specify anything at compile time so exim should run as root.
Greetings,
Sascha
