Hello List,

I have a problem that seems minor but after a terrible day I seem lost.

On my Exim (3.953) config file I have:

# Exim user and those whose uids no delivery should occur.

exim_user = mailnull
exim_group = mail
never_users = root : mailnull

I was running a process as root and I wanted to send the results to my main acct
on a machine where I read my mail.

#do foo | bar | mail wash@??? &

This completed but the mail never came. I then checked and realised that even the
system mails to root never got delivered. So I tried the ultimate push...

beastie# mailq
 0m   349 16ZDL4-00012v-00 <root@???>
          wash@???


beastie# exim -qff
