Hello, I'm trying such simple exim configuration:
-- START -- acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data local_interfaces = 0.0.0.0 begin acl acl_check_rcpt: accept acl_check_data: accept begin routers test1: driver = accept transport = test2 begin transports test2: driver = appendfile file = /var/mail/$local_part group = mail -- STOP -- It should deliver emails to local files. That files - according to documentation - should be created as the user to whom the email is address. For instance, if an email is addressed to "[email protected]", it should be written to /var/mail/janek. This file should be owned by user "janek". However, the file /var/mail/janek is being created as user "exim". When I run exim in debug mode, it says: (...) 12516 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Local deliveries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 12516 --------> [email protected] <-------- 12516 locking /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile 12516 locked /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile 12516 EXIM_DBOPEN(/var/spool/exim/db/retry) 12516 returned from EXIM_DBOPEN 12516 opened hints database /var/spool/exim/db/retry: flags=O_RDONLY 12516 dbfn_read: key=T:[email protected] 12516 no retry record exists 12516 search_tidyup called 12517 changed uid/gid: local delivery to janek <[email protected]> transport=test2 12517 uid=93 gid=12 pid=12517 12517 auxiliary group list: <none> 12517 home=NULL current=/ (...) UID 53 is user "exim", not "janek". When I add option "user = $local_part", everything works ok, but I don't understand why it does not work like that without that option. I thought such behaviour is the default one. Thanks a lot for advices! -- ## 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/
