Hello,
I'm attempting to get exim 4.05 running on AIX 4.3.3. I'm having some kind
of a problem with permissions. Below is the output of
/usr/exim/bin/exim -d -v -q30m -bd
Exim version 4.05 uid=0 gid=7 pid=16306 L=834cd8 D=fff7577f
probably ndbm

I looked in the FAQ, and it implies that this error is usually because exim
doesn't know its own path, however exim -bP exim_path is OK. The exim
binary permissions look like this
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root mail 1332004 Jul 12 13:04 exim-4.05-3
Everything in the bin directory is owned by root, and all other files are
owned by user exim. Can anyone help me with this please? I've looked at
everything I can think of and still have not found the problem.
Thanks
