As reported earlier to this bug, sa-exim was getting lots of errors attempting to write logging information.
/var/spool/sa-exim/, where it was trying to write, had owner and group of "mail". However, under Debian, exim4 runs as "Debian-exim" for many of its initial operations. sa-exim appears to run under this user id. By executing # chgrp -R Debian-exim /var/spool/sa-exim I seem to have fixed the permission troubles. Probably both the user and group should be Debian-exim. This issue is Debian specific (i.e., it only matters for the Debian package). Note exim4 is the default MTA for sarge. The choice of Debian-exim4 is deliberate, an attempt to conform to Debian policy. So I think it's the sa-exim package that needs to change. Perhaps this is only an issue for upgraders. cc'ing various lists of people who might want to know about this. -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 502-4031 530 Parnassus Avenue (Library) rm 115-4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 476-9856 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94143-0840 hm: (415) 550-1062 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
