Hello!
I'm happily using exim-4.10-2 on a Windows 2000 box, but after
updating Cygwin to 1.3.19-1, sending queued messages fails
with an error message:
$ exim -qf
2003-01-26 15:16:06 H9BRLW-0000ZC-00 Couldn't chown message log
/var/spool/exim/msglog//H9BRLW-0000ZC-00: Permission denied
just for reference, the directory looks something like this:
$ ls -la /var/spool/exim/msglog/
total 0
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 wosc Kein 0 Jan 29 10:06 .
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 SYSTEM Administ 0 Jan 28 09:04 ..
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 SYSTEM Administ 81 Jan 28 09:10 H9BRLW-0000ZC-00
The message will be sent, but only after I manually delete
the offending log-file.
I've downgraded to Cygwin 1.3.18, so no real problem here,
but it still puzzles me.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
