I am running exim as my MTA, and I'm using fetchmail to retrieve my mail from my ISP. My ISP account is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My local account is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My mail is not getting delivered. fetchmail knows that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is russ here, and negotiates the mail retrieval. A script of the transaction follows. Please help with pointers to look for. What should file ownership be for /var/spool/mail/russ? It currently is russ:mail.
