Autor: Jim Pazarena Data: A: exim-users Assumpte: [exim] trouble with redirect router and permissions
I had an account running uucp and it worked fine.
Now I've switched it to using fetchmail via tcp/ip
and I've got permission problems which I cannot understand.
my exim binary is definitely running as SUID root,
however is appears when exim gets the delivery from fetchmail
that it is running as the mail user.
I get an error message like:
"unable to set gid=6 or uid=4005 (euid=25): userforward route (recipient is mitvs@localhost)"
my mail user is ID 25
mail group is 6
the user mitvs is ID 4005
I set "group = mail" in the redirect router thinking it may fix
the problem, but the above message didn't change before or after.
