I did not uncomment this line, because the comments in /etc/exim.conf
said, that the default (022) would be probably what I want. Since I am
still a Linux-newbie, I followed this recommendation.

Thank you *very* much, such a stupid little thing (one comment sign too
much) and big effects :-(

Kind regards
