Hm, in the exim config I have for the rootmail transport: rootmail: driver = appendfile delivery_date_add envelope_to_add file = /var/mail/root no_maildir_format mode = 0600 no_mode_fail_narrower return_path_add user = mail No idea why this is ignored. :( Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
