* When one of your users sends a mail, it's going to exim. At that point, exim needs to deliver it, and fetchmail really can't (well, shouldn't) get involved - cyrdeliver, as you are doing, seems the proper thing to do. Therefore, I mentioned that my setup, where I use fetchmail, because I want to download mail from a POP account, won't work (well, isn't the best way) for you. * Since cyrdeliver is running under exim's user (mail) for you, and either under root or the recipient's user for me, your problems may stem from permissions, and you need to see what happens if you try doing the delivery under a different username. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
