Re: [Exim] 30 messages sent out for each email

well, for one the limits, at least in tcsh (so csh too) are process
dependent, as I just read..., and are inherited by the child process,
so it should be no problem since you started exim from a normal shell.

As I said the ownership must be of the userid of the exim process,
that is mailnull. The privileges are rwx for the user rx for the
group (that is 750) in the case of directories, and rw, r (that is
640), in the case of files.

ARGH! And please DO NOT include the other party email address in your
replies body (that is, do as I do below, where I only write your
name).
