Package: sa-exim Version: 4.2-1 Severity: normal
Subject: sa-exim: permission problems prevent some logging Package: sa-exim Version: 4.2-1 Severity: normal sa-exim is having permission problems that prevent it from writing to areas under /var/spool/sa-exim. I just noticed this, but it has been going on for at least as far back as my exim logs go (Feb 19). I am not exactly sure what uid the sa-exim process is running under; my guess is that something has changed. However, I couldn't find any clues about this under /usr/share/doc/sa-exim/. Since it appears to be doing the primary delivery, and it's likely spam anyway, I don't think this problem is too serious. Perhaps this is an issue with the upgrade script not resetting permissions on existing installations? My permissions are iron:/var/spool# ls -ld sa-exim/ drwxrwx--- 4 mail mail 104 Apr 1 2004 sa-exim/ iron:/var/spool# ls -l sa-exim/ total 1 drwxrwx--- 5 mail mail 120 Nov 26 2003 SAerrorsave drwxr-x--- 2 nobody Debian-exim 48 Apr 1 2004 tuplets and here is a representative excerpt from my exim logs: 2005-02-19 06:44:36 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Debug: SAEximRunCond expand returned: '1' 2005-02-19 06:44:36 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Debug: check succeeded, running spamc 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Debug: SAEximRejCond expand returned: '1' 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Debug: Writing message to /var/spool/sa-exim/SAtempreject/new/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Notice: creating maildir tree in /var/spool/sa-exim/SAtempreject 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: PANIC: Unexpected error on mkdir /var/spool/sa-exim/SAtempreject (but message was accepted), file sa-exim.c, line \ 236: Permission denied 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Debug: Writing message to /var/spool/sa-exim/SAerrorsave/new/[EMAIL PROTECTED] edu 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: Notice: creating maildir tree in /var/spool/sa-exim/SAerrorsave 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd SA: PANIC: Error in error handler while trying to save mail to /var/spool/sa-exim/SAerrorsave/1108824277_200502191345.\ [EMAIL PROTECTED], file sa-exim.c, line 1470: Permission denied 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=sprocket.ucsf.edu [128.218.93.105] P=esmtp S=4797 [EMAIL PROTECTED] cket.ucsf.edu 250 OK id=1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd^M 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd => ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=imap_user T=cyrus 2005-02-19 06:44:37 1D2VqW-0005RL-Vd Completed 2005-02-19 06:49:37 SMTP command timeout on connection from sprocket.ucsf.edu [128.218.93.105] 421 iron.libaux.ucsf.edu: SMTP command timeout - closing connection^M -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27adnvcd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages sa-exim depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-daemon-light 4.44-2 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii spamc 3.0.2-1 Client for SpamAssassin spam filte -- debconf information: sa-exim/purge_spool: false -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27adnvcd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages sa-exim depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-daemon-light 4.44-2 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii spamc 3.0.2-1 Client for SpamAssassin spam filte -- debconf information: sa-exim/purge_spool: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
