I have, finally, upgraded to exim4 and have run into a problem. I have checked the archives, back to June of 2003, and seem to be the only one that has this problem, so it must be my screwup.
I am on dialup and retrieve mail using Mailfilter/Fetchmail. Yhe mail is hung up in the exim4 spool and I am unable to get it forwarded to my mailboxes. The errors messages are as follows. For mail going to me /usr/bin/procmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=userforward T=address_file defer (13): Permission denied: creating lock file hitching post /usr/bin/procmail.lock.buddy.mtntop.home.40a4cc88.00000b41 (euid=1000 egid=1000) for mail going to root (which with exim 3 was forwarded to use boss via the .forward file in root) /usr/bin/procmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=userforward T=address_file defer (-29): User 0 set for address_file transport is on the fixed_never_users list As exim4 replaced my old /etc/aliases file, the current one looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] postmaster: boss root: boss daemon: root bin: root <rest are all =root> mailer-daemon: boss I have tried both methods of configuration but can't seem to find any file in /etc/exim4 that I can modify to solve this problem. Thank God for mutt as I can still get the mail but sure would like to get the fetchmail part working. Thanks in advance for any pointers as to what I must have screwed up.
