Ok all.
Looks like the problem is almost solved. I recompiled exim again with the following entries:
SUPPORT_TLS=yes
TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
TLS_LIBS=-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
Previously I removed 'TLS_LIBS=-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto' thinking it was the problem but was actually causing the runtime problem.
Mail is being delivered coreclty without errors. I am recieving mail directly, nothing is getting stuck in the spool. I can reboot the server and exim starts up without error (Yay!!!!)
The only minor problem left has to do with delivering mail to root (root@???). Exim complains of the following:
2001-11-14 15:59:09 1649rq-00004E-00 == root@??? T=local_delivery defer (-6): mailbox /var/m
ail/root has wrong uid (0 != 60001)
2001-11-14 15:59:09 1649rq-00004E-00 Frozen
The following are my permisions:
(/var/mail)-->ls -l
total 1756
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 512 Oct 10 23:04 :saved/
-rw-rw---- 1 gary sysadmin 46055 Nov 14 15:52 gary
-rw-rw---- 1 melody staff 837007 Nov 13 22:10 melody
-rw-rw---- 1 root mail 0 Oct 11 11:21 root
(/var/mail)-->
Humm, I'm not sure if root's group should be mail but root should be owned by root? ID 60001 is nobody. How is that possible. Does anybody know how to interpret (0 !=60001)?
Thanks.
