wow. good memory =) nope. though, i reinstalled again ... just to be sure.

but, it *has* happened a couple of other times ... (i still have noe idea why
it's losing its suid bit!)


what _seems_ to work is changing:

    --- SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
    +++ SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0755


    --- SPOOL_MODE=0640
    +++ SPOOL_MODE=0644


in Local/Makefile and rebuilding exim.

this does not make sense to me, as, iiuc, spool dir should be accessible w/
exim_user-exim.

cheers,

richard
