If you don't want to run exim and asterisk as the same user, you have to make sure that the mailbox and forward files, plus a couple of others I can't rememer are read/writeable by exim, otherwise it cant deliver it locally, remotely it's no problem.
Try setting security to seteuid from the default setuid in the config, this should work on most debian derivatives, don't know if it will on ubuntu if thats what u are using.. On 8/27/06, Shidan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
