Hello:
This is a new installation. And for some reason, exim4 is
not working out of the box. I installed with the Debian
Sarge net-installer. I gave /var/mail its own partition.
Its permissions are:
drwxrwxr-x 3 root Debian-exim 1024 2005-05-03 01:23 mail
after I chown root:Debian-exim, and chmod g+w to it.
/var/spool/mail looks like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2005-04-01 23:26 mail -> ../mail
The exim que is full of interesting mail I'd love access to,
but none of it is getting to the system mail box where I can
access it with mailx.
marcus2:~# ls /var/spool/exim4/input/ | wc -l
5572
marcus2:~# ls /var/spool/exim4/msglog/ | wc -l
2786
marcus2:~#
So I know there is mail in the que: at least a month's worth of
cron activity plus a thousand or more messages which had stacked
up on my personal email account waiting for me to get this
box configured for fetchmail. They've all been fetched now.
But I still don't have convenient access to them.
How do I get exim to deliver to the local system mailboxes?
All clues appreciated. Thanks,
-- Hugh Esco
