Right.. sorry for the many posts..

I have added my Debian-exim and mail groups to the sympa group.

I have added initgroups = true to my routers

I have restarted exim.

Same thing happens.

But what I can still not understand is this:

Oct 26 21:55:24 haven exim[24235]: 2006-10-26 21:55:24 1GdBJz-0006It-VG <=
asterisk-users-bounces@???
H=digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net (lists.digium.com) [69.16.138.164]
P=esmtp S=4342 id=E87E6DED-9B4D-44A5-9435-82C3A851F9E8@???


That's a normal mail, P is esmtp which is expected.

But WHY does the "troublesome" mail have U set, and P not set?

Oct 26 21:55:54 haven exim[24248]: 2006-10-26 21:55:54 H=mail.acc.umu.se
[130.239.18.156] U=postfix F=<dak@???> temporarily rejected RCPT
<bjorkriset-styrelse@???>: require_files: error for
/home/sympa/expl/listor.skyddsrummet.net/bjorkriset-styrelse/config:
Permission denied

Both these messages are coming in from remote hosts via SMTP, and both these
hosts are external, and hence no "accept"-magic should happen.

I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong here, and I really have
no clue what so ever...
