[Pkg-exim4-users] User running Debian-exim
Hi, I''m not able to receive mails on a pc running exim, I think could be a permissions problem. when I run ps -ef command I see the next text 1004 10116 1 0 09:14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m root 10141 9937 0 09:19 pts/0 00:00:00 grep exim Usually instead of 1004 should appears the name of user running exim, that is Debian-exim, looking in my /etc/passwd file I see that 1004 is the number of the user Debian-exim. Why does appears the number of the user and not the name? I uninstalled debian package and delete Debian-exim user, installed again and add manually the user (I had to put a password to the Debian-user) because it wasn''t created automatically and the problem still be the same. Any suggestion? TIA
