Exim4 won't send mail - what does this error message mean?
I'm getting serious trouble with exim4.
A lot of mail, incoming and outgoing, just sits in /var/log/exim4/input
indefinitely. This includes even messages I email to myself.
However, some things do go out (including this, if it reaches the list).
The relevant lines in /var/log/messages/exim4/mainlog read as follows:
2003-10-21 14:47:02 1ABwqk-0000H3-Fu <= ac@acampbell.org.uk U=ac P=local
S=603 id=20031021134702.GA1049@acampbell.org.uk
2003-10-21 14:47:02 1ABwqk-0000H3-Fu == ac@acampbell.org.uk
R=userforward defer (-1): bad mode (0100664) for /home/ac/.forward: 020
bit(s) unexpected
Can anyone suggest what is wrong here?
