There is a runtime option called # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces. # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root ----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------ I certainly hope that you haven't removed root from FIXED_NEVER_USERS. -Phil -- ## List details at https://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/
