Re: [exim] Exim and SpamAssassin

Oops, didn't cc the maillist...

Hi, Marc,

Thanks again - but that's not the problem.

I found this because of frozen messages to my error reporting email.
They had:

The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
zzz@???: mailbox /var/spool/mail/zzz has wrong uid (xxx
!= yyy)

Changing the spool file owner id to exim's allowed everything to thaw
and be delivered. And looking though the trace, I see exim changing the
uid to the exim id - but never to the user's id. I also see no attempts
to call my local delivery router (although I do see a number of routers
before the spamcheck router fail, as they should).

The deeper I go into this, the deeper in trouble I am! I've even gone
back to comparing my current configuration against an older one with no
luck.

I KNOW I did something stupid - SOMEPLACE. I wish I could figure out
what I did!

Thanks again,

Jerry

It hits the router to deliver it properly - but - the router fails
because of ownership. So it then moves on to the next router which is
your catchall.
