Hi,
I'm using exim 4.20 freshly compiled with ldap (openldap2)
and native Berkeley-DB (4.1.25) under Debian/Woody (testing) on a
Pentium II.
When I try to run it in daemon mode without queue runs (for use as
incoming daemon with MailScanner), it crashes.
What could be wrong here? I'm grateful for any hints.
Regards,
Dominik

However, if I start it as
exim -oX 25 -bd
it runs without problems.
I also noticed that when running with -oX and trying to send a mail as a
non-privileged user,
the error message
2003-07-27 22:25:07 19gs4p-0001vE-KK Failed to create spool file
/var/spool/exim4/input//19gs4p-0001vE-KK-D: Permission denied
is logged to the console.
Both exim processes run as uid/gid mail, and the directory
/var/spool/exim4
looks like this:
root:~# ls -la /var/spool/exim4

I read something about the daemon crashing if it has been
"incorrectly built with a muddled combination of an /ndbm.h/ include
file and a non-matching DBM library". (FAQ A9601)
But this should not be the case here since both the incoming and
outgoing processes share the same binary, and one is
running, the other one not.
Here's the global configuration part of the crashing daemon:
domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = @ : 127.0.0.1
never_users = root
# host_lookup = *
rfc1413_hosts = *
rfc1413_query_timeout = 30s
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 2d
acl_smtp_rcpt = accept_all
queue_only = true
spool_directory = /var/spool/exim4
