Yes. If the directory does not exist, it is created and immediately chown'd to exim_uid:exim_gid So, if exim_user is 'xyz' and exim_group is 'abc', then as root run: chown -R xyz:abc /var/spool/exim -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
