Hi, When I run exim from Midnight Commander (mc) shell prompt with the command:
server:~# exim4 -d admin < /dev/nul I observe two things: 1. output to stderr is truncated: <cut> LOG: MAIN <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=root P=local S=282 search_tidyup called exec /usr/sbin/exim4 -d=0xfbb95cfd -Mc 1GhS3H-0007aL-SZ search_tidyup called >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Exim pid=29161 terminating with rc=0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> server:~# 2. the message is not delivered immediately: 2006-11-07 15:44:29 1GhSBh-0007aS-3o <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=root P=local S=282 2006-11-07 15:35:47 1GhS3H-0007aL-SZ == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=procmail defer (-1): require_files: error for /home/admin/.procmailrc: Input/output error When the time comes and the queue is processed (or forced with the same command as above: exim4 -d=0xfbb95cfd -Mc 1GhS3H-0007aL-SZ) the message is delivered without any problem. Now: when I run initial command redirecting stderr to file: server:~# exim4 -d admin < /dev/nul 2>exim4-err the message is delivered immediatelly: 2006-11-07 15:44:57 1GhSC9-0007aV-PG <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=root P=local S=282 2006-11-07 15:44:57 1GhSC9-0007aV-PG => admin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=local_user T=mail_spool 2006-11-07 15:44:57 1GhSC9-0007aV-PG Completed Also when I run my initial command (no redirection) _not_ from mc shell prompt the messages is delivered immediatelly. Q: What is that interaction between exim4 and mc? Is there any way to increase exim verbosity to debug this problem? All above was done in Debian-default Exim4 environment. Would you please confirm or comment my observations. Thanks.
