whats wrong there ?
I just want local delivery, so that cron can mail my user, and occasional forward for outgoing emails, but only from localhost, and only relay for my 2 domains demaine.info and doublehp.org, so that mutt or Firefox can send messages when the SMTP of my provider is down, or unreachable.[/list]

See Q0036 in the FAQs at http://www.exim.org. The fix is to uncomment two lines that
appear in the exim.conf file:
group = mail
mode = 0660
Exim runs as the user being mailed to. By default the /var/mail directory is set to user root,
group mail. This allows exim to create local user spool files in the mail group. |
