I didn't modify the parameter prior to my recognition of the problem.
Anyhow, I solved the problem with your assistance. I report what I did.
Stopped /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail service.
I edited /etc/passwd and changed uid/gid of exim to 500:500. They were
0:0. I don't know why it was working that way.
Renamed /var/spool/exim to something else so that a new installation
would create a new spool direcotry.
Reboot just to make sure the change I made on /etc/passwd takes effect.
Log in as root.
Moved to /usr/local/bin/exim-4.10
make makefile
make
make install
Install completed successfully.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start ... [OK]
exim -bP exim_user exim_group returns
exim_user: exim
exim_group: 500
I can send email via remote_smtp with 'never_users=root' in configure
file.
Thank you so much for your help!!
