I've recently upgraded my system to an AMD64 and am now running a 64 bit
version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, and I've had nothing but trouble.
I've finally compiled Exim 4.44 and installed it, and it's able to resolve
address, but delivery is problematic. Here are the permissions for the
/usr/exim/bin directory:

I think this is correct, but here is the message in the mail log:

Exim is able to write to the current maillog, but it's unable to create its
own log. An easy way to solve this, I guess, would be to recompile the
binary and have it use just the system logs, but I'd prefer to be able to
figure out, why it's doing this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
