I've been having trouble with getting exim to send locally. I have /var/spool set to owner mail and group mail. According to the mainlog, it complains that the user samuel at interfree.ca doesn't have permission to write to that folder. At least, I think that is what the log is trying to tell me. In a Debian setup, who should own /var/spool? I think that any user you want to mail to has to have a userid, and so they do. There is a user id samuel on the system. It seems to want all users to be able to write to the spool folder. How to I set that? Here is the log entry. Maybe I am misinterpreting this. 2003-10-26 18:47:51 1ADubu-0000GB-00 <= rejean at interfree.ca H=(M019005) [192.168.1.1] P=smtp S=788 id=027f01c39c1b$8fb32c00$6501a8c0 at ism.can.ibm.com 2003-10-26 18:47:51 1ADubu-0000GB-00 == samuel at interfree.ca T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: creating lock file hitching post /var/spool/mail/samuel.lock.interfree.interfree.ca.3f9c5d27.000003ee (euid=1001 egid=8) Rejean Proulx Visit my family at http://interfree.ca MSN is: rejp at rogers.com Ham License VA3REJ
