Nothing like that in this script.
I was about to give up and leave things as they are, since I am *certain* the
problem is in my sytem, not Exim. I tried this "sendmail
pollywog@???" on the command line as a last resort:
1999-02-02 10:09:22 107kGG-0006X7-00 Cannot open main log file
"/var/log/exim/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=8 egid=12
exim: could not open panic log: aborting
exim: original error was: 1999-02-02 10:09:22 107kGG-0006X7-00 Cannot open main
log file "/var/log/exim/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=8 egid=12
The same happens if I use exim_user=exim and exim_group=exim
I will fiddle with this for a bit. If I can't fix it I can just leave these
settings out.
Thanks
