Hi, thanks once again for the response.
I have been using the -d to show a debuglog. From what I can see exim is
claiming to be doing the initial delivery and also returning a vacation
message to the sender.
I have included the debug log below, this shows a message being sent from
test1 to test2 where test2 is on vacation.
The only thing I can see which is suspicious is one line where it says:
"changed uid/gid: local delivery to >test1 <test1@???> <>test1
<test1@???>> transport=address_reply
uid=531 gid=531"
from checking /etc/passwd, 531 is the uid and gid of user test2, the fact
that it still claims a successful delivery -
"post-process >test1 <test1@???> (0)
>test1 <test1@???> delivered"
- even though this isn't happening is very confusing, admittedly I am
fairly new to this so I may be reading the log file incorrectly.
Once again .vacation.log is reporting having sent a message to test1
although test1 has not received any such message. Normal mail is arriving
for test1 fine however.
Once more I am stumped :(
Regards
Simon
