Thanks for your response. Corrected RHEL version #.

$ more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)

SELinux has always been disabled on this machine.

It looks like we have a Fedora package installed. Here it is.

I did a compilation on my own (using out-of-the-box makefile settings) and the problem no longer occurs.

At this point, I have a work-around, and the criteria is narrower than I originally thought. It may not be worth resolving, unless you think it's a security problem. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Please could you clarify a few things:-
   - What OS are you running on - I am not aware of RHEL 7.x being
     available as yet, so 7.2 seems unlikely
   - Where was the rpm from?  Exim is not part of RHEL6.  EPEL has a
     higher version number than you are stating.
   - Is selinux enabled?  If so what happens if you disable it[*]?

* NB I consider selinux to be a good thing, but it is sometimes prone
to provoking unexpected (at first glance) behaviour, so with
something like this, just checking its not a selinux policy side
effect is worth doing. Disabling selinux on a production server
just because you cannot be bothered to get the policy right is a
bit silly.
