Hi,
I recently installed Debian Etch on my computer. After the installation,
I noticed that email (local) was not working at all. I had these in my
/var/mail
$> ls -l /var/mail
total 0
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 Debian-exim
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:29 gdm
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:26 hal
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 identd
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 messagebus
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:31 user1
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 16:32 sshd
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 statd
I had to manually change the permissions of user1 to -rw-rw---- to get
mail working. So far so good.
However, what are the other mail files for in the above directory? And
why were the permissions set in such a weird way? Anybody familiar with
this kind of setup?
I have:
$> dpkg -l *exim* | grep ^i
ii exim4 4.62-1 metapackage to ease exim MTA
(v4) installation
ii exim4-base 4.62-1 support files for all exim
MTA (v4) packages
ii exim4-config 4.62-1 configuration for the exim
MTA (v4)
ii exim4-daemon-light 4.62-1 lightweight exim MTA (v4)
daemon
Thanks,
->HS
