Muhhh...

Works here on fractional email addresses (FreeBSD 6.X, euid of 0)

So ... what user are you running each as?

I *suspect* that:

- you are NOT 'root'

- your 'grep' binary has execute privileges for all users & read-acess to the
~/rejectlog  file

- your 'exigrep' binary may not have (both) for the euid you are invoking it as...

Can you try it as . ELSE su to
'root', and/or change the perms?


I *suspect* that:

- you are NOT 'root'
I'm not ENTIRELY sure I understand you

I'm still pretty new at BSD Exim

but I did run both commands as root by su-

this machine is only a filter that passes mail to my exchange box-
the only user account is jnatola aside from root-

i tried
sudo exigrep jnatola /var/log/exim/rejectlog
sudo: Command not found.

but you were correct in stating that grep and exigrep have different perms
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4485 Aug  6 15:08 exigrep
-r-xr-xr-x  9 root  wheel  72284 May  8  2005 grep
