Package: sa-exim Version: 4.2.1-11 Severity: normal Greylisting in the latest stable sa-exim doesn't appear to work with the default permissions on the tuplets directory left by a d-i fresh install, using the 'Mail server' software collection option.
# ls -ld /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets/ drwxr-x--- 2 nobody Debian-exim 4096 2009-12-17 11:20 /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets/ It seems that reconfiguring, as below, tidies up the perms. # dpkg-reconfigure sa-exim Reloading exim4 configuration files: exim4. # ls -ld /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets drwxrwx--x 2 nobody Debian-exim 4096 2009-12-17 11:20 /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets The default of running the greylistclean as nobody also surprised me. With Debian-exim writing to the tuplets dir, nobody didn't have enough access: nob...@myhost:/$ /usr/share/sa-exim/greylistclean Can't cd to (/var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets/) 92: Permission denied at /usr/share/sa-exim/greylistclean line 79 I needed the following to get the clean working. # sed -i 's/* nobody/* Debian-exim/' /etc/cron.d/greylistclean This looks a little like archived bug 359869 but that was closed on 4.2.1-2, in 2006.
