my Local/Makefile had:


EXIM_UID=8      (mail)
EXIM_GID=12    (mail)



LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim/%slog

and the permissions are:

ls -ld /var/log/exim/
drwxr-xr-x    2 mail     mail         4096 May 30 15:42 /var/log/exim/


ls -l /var/log/exim/
total 4
-rw-r-----    1 mail     mail          869 Jun 12 15:11 mainlog


ls -lrt /usr/exim/bin/exim
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       520436 Jun 12 13:39 /usr/exim/bin/exim




this is the logfiles when I start the daemon
(/usr/exim/bin/exim -bd -q15m)

2001-06-12 15:11:13 pid 543: SIGHUP received: re-exec daemon
2001-06-12 15:11:13 exim 3.22 daemon started: pid=543, -q15m, listening
for SMTP on port 25
2001-06-12 15:11:13 Start queue run: pid=1141
2001-06-12 15:11:13 End queue run: pid=1141


and I can get some messages written to the log:

2001-06-13 09:48:34 refused relay (host) to <derrick@???> from
<derrick@???> H=[1.39.45.9] (failed to find host name from IP
address)


But when I do
ls -l |mail derrick@???

nothing appears in the logs..

Any ideas?
