Thanks Jeremy! At first, when I tried to run that command as root, it gave some output ending with: 18:56:50 825 LOG: PANIC DIE 18:56:50 825 Cannot open main log file "/var/spool/exim/log/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=0 egid=0 18:56:50 825 2024-05-09 18:56:50 Warning: purging the environment. 18:56:50 825 Suggested action: use keep_environment. 18:56:50 825 2024-05-09 18:56:50 Cannot open main log file "/var/spool/exim/log/mainlog": Permission denied: euid=0 egid=0 18:56:50 825 exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above 18:56:50 825 search_tidyup called 18:56:50 825 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Exim pid=825 (fresh-exec) terminating with rc=1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> However, when I ran it inside "su - exim -s /bin/sh" (exim user:group is exim:exim), I get the full following output: 19:01:24 888 Exim version 4.96.1 uid=979 gid=974 pid=888 D=fff9ffff 19:01:24 888 Support for: crypteq iconv() GnuTLS TLS_resume DANE DKIM DNSSEC Event OCSP PIPECONNECT PRDR Queue_Ramp TCP_Fast_Open 19:01:24 888 Lookups (built-in): lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch dbm dbmjz dbmnz dnsdb 19:01:24 888 Authenticators: cram_md5 dovecot external plaintext spa tls 19:01:24 888 Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect 19:01:24 888 Transports: appendfile autoreply pipe smtp 19:01:24 888 Configure owner: 0:0 19:01:24 888 Size of off_t: 8 19:01:24 888 Compiler: GCC [11.3.0] 19:01:24 888 Library version: Glibc: Compile: 2.35 19:01:24 888 Runtime: 2.35 19:01:24 888 Library version: BDB: Compile: Berkeley DB 5.3.28: (September 9, 2013) 19:01:24 888 Runtime: Berkeley DB 5.3.28: (September 9, 2013) 19:01:24 888 Library version: GnuTLS: Compile: 3.7.7 19:01:24 888 Runtime: 3.8.3 19:01:24 888 Library version: PCRE2: Compile: 10.40 19:01:24 888 Runtime: 10.40 2022-04-14 19:01:24 888 Total 9 lookups 19:01:24 888 WHITELIST_D_MACROS unset 19:01:24 888 TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST unset 19:01:24 888 Exim has no root privilege: uid=979 gid=974 euid=979 egid=974 19:01:24 888 changed uid/gid: forcing real = effective 19:01:24 888 uid=979 gid=974 pid=888 19:01:24 888 auxiliary group list: 974 1000 19:01:24 888 seeking password data for user "root": cache not available 19:01:24 888 getpwnam() succeeded uid=0 gid=0 19:01:24 888 LOG: MAIN 19:01:24 888 Warning: purging the environment. 19:01:24 888 Suggested action: use keep_environment. 2024-05-09 19:01:24 Warning: purging the environment.
