exim configuration
I'm running current potato and recently tried to reconfigure exim
to work with a mail server on our LAN, and it broke localhost
delivery.
On the LAN there's a host (mail.wasters) which is running exim and
is configured to route all LAN mail properly; this is the same
machine we use to run IPmasq. Anyway, I'd obviously like to use
this as a smarthost so that mail to other users on their machines
goes straight to them instead of out onto the Internet.
I run eximconfig, choose option 2, and take defaults for all
options except local domains, for which I add wasters.org. Any
mail to external addresses appears to be sent okay (empty mailq),
but mail received by fetchmail, or sent with mail
alisdair@localhost, is stuck in the queue indefinitely.
Trying to do exim -qf gives this error in the log:
1999-11-27 21:50:55 Start queue run: pid=14508 -qf
1999-11-27 21:50:55 11rpjY-0003lF-00 == alisdair@localhost
D=procmail defer (-1): file existence defer in procmail director:
Permission denied
I'm not (intentionally) using procmail - I've no idea why this is
happening. Is this a bug?
