I'm running current potato and recently tried to reconfigure exim to work with a mail server on our LAN, and it broke localhost delivery.
On the LAN there's a host (mail.wasters) which is running exim and is configured to route all LAN mail properly; this is the same machine we use to run IPmasq. Anyway, I'd obviously like to use this as a smarthost so that mail to other users on their machines goes straight to them instead of out onto the Internet. I run eximconfig, choose option 2, and take defaults for all options except local domains, for which I add wasters.org. Any mail to external addresses appears to be sent okay (empty mailq), but mail received by fetchmail, or sent with mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], is stuck in the queue indefinitely. Trying to do exim -qf gives this error in the log: 1999-11-27 21:50:55 Start queue run: pid=14508 -qf 1999-11-27 21:50:55 11rpjY-0003lF-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] D=procmail defer (-1): file existence defer in procmail director: Permission denied I'm not (intentionally) using procmail - I've no idea why this is happening. Is this a bug? -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [funny how everything i swore i wouldn't change, is different now]
