exim and fetchmail
I am running exim as my MTA, and I'm using fetchmail to retrieve my mail
from
my ISP. My ISP account is russcook@icon.net. My local account is
russ@p90.mydomain
My mail is not getting delivered. fetchmail knows that russcook@icon.net
is
russ here, and negotiates the mail retrieval. A script of the transaction
follows.
Please help with pointers to look for. What should file ownership be for
/var/spool/mail/russ? It currently is russ:mail.

Using eximon, I modified the recipient of one of the messages above, to
forward to my
machine at work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
