Hi everyone.
I'm trying to set up exim for the first time and have come across several problems. After sending mail to folks with accounts, it always gets returned.
At first it always returned saying that it didn't have permission to write to mainlog. I fixed the problem, but now I'm getting returned mail with a new error:
Delay reason: SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data:
host a.mx.icai-online.com [128.121.254.205]: 421 Unexpected log failure, please try later
Also, I was told to check what kind of errors I receive when I use debugging commands. This is what happened:
[3:57pm]# exim -d 9 -v -M 10sTpH-00064C-00
Exim version 3.33 debug level 9 uid=0 gid=0

exim: could not open panic log - aborting: original error above

Any idea what's wrong?
I am also confused as to why it's using a uid of 8.. My "mail" account uses the following:
mail:x:509:12::/var/empty:/bin/bash
Thanks,
Ryan
