Dear Aaron,
I have tried several options.
On your lead, tried using Exim's trusted_users and trusted_groups to
include dbmail/dbmail as user and group combination. Then DBMail started
reporting an error in dbmail.err log indicating the following, giving
the old result of not delivering the messages.
2007-05-29 10:10:40 Failed to create spool file
/var/spool/Exim/outgoing/input/1HstVg-0001wn-5P-D: Permission denied
This does not look like an error generated by DBMail, possibly generated
by Exim but logged by DBMail.
Then I've changed to "EFFECTIVE_GROUP = exim" while having
"EFFECTIVE_USER = dbmail", still reported the same error. Then I've
changed the group privileges of the spool directories as chmod g+rws
/var/spool/Exim/outgoing/{input,msglog}, which made the deliveries to
dbmail-lmtpd successful. :-)
I am yet not fully satisfied, there are other Exim compilation options
(EXIMDB_DIRECTORY_MODE, EXIMDB_MODE, INPUT_DIRECTORY_MODE,
SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE, SPOOL_MODE) which I should try. Though I do not
plan immediately, when I try these options, will keep you updated.
However, for the time being, I will be using exim/exim user and group
combination.
Thanks for all the help offered.
Kind regards,
Lasantha.
