In ./usr/sbin exim is a symlink to exim4. exim is owned by root:root with

still got exim: permission denied when I executed mailq as user tom. mailq
works for root.
OK, I meant su;mailq or sudo mailq.
You should be able to run mailq as root. Otherwise, you have a
problem. For me, it's just a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/exim4.

If I run /etc/init.d/exim4 restart I get a warning that the exim4
paniclog is not empty. tail/var/exim4/paniclog ends with "failed to
read delivery status for [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the delivery subprocess.
I have tried editing exim4.conf.template and uncommenting the Login
lines in the Authentication section and entering my user name and
password after the colons in the server_promts line. This does not
solve the problem.
