Re: exim error: What does it mean?
If there are any mailing list and exim experts out there I would appreciate a second set of eyeballs on what I've done. Quoting Paul Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Mon, Jun 24 07:55: What does this mean? # /usr/sbin/exim -v -M 17MVAm-0002nz-00 delivering message 17MVAm-0002nz-00 LOG: 0 MAIN PANIC DIE Neither the system_aliases director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED] From a google search I managed to piece together something that worked. First, I moved all of the sympa specific aliases into a separate aliases file (/etc/aliases.sympa). Then I added the following to exim's 'TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION' section: - Begin TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION - sympa_list_pipe: driver = pipe user = sympa group = sympa return_fail_output - End TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION - And this to exim's 'DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION' section: - Begin DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION - sympa_lists: driver = aliasfile search_type = lsearch file = /etc/aliases.sympa pipe_transport = sympa_list_pipe - End DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION - I put the above after the system_aliases: and before the userforward: sections. I had to take the domain part out of the aliases (that is, the part to the left of the colon) in /etc/aliases.sympa in order to get it to work. I believe there is an option in the exim config that will allow domains in the alias file but I don't know what it is. My /etc/aliases.sympa looks like this: - Begin aliases.sympa - #-- SYMPA begin ## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager sympa: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa sympa-request: postmaster sympa-owner: postmaster listmaster: postmaster #-- SYMPA end #- [EMAIL PROTECTED] sympa-test: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED] sympa-test-request: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED] sympa-test-owner: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue sympa-test sympa-test-unsubscribe: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED] sympa-test-subscribe: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED] # - End aliases.sympa - Hope this helps, Omen -- The first myth of management is that it exists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

You have 2 choices for correcting that. 1) put system_filter_user = pick a user in the global section of the config 2) put user = pick a user in the 'address_pipe' transport I think the former is a better choice for you since the address_pipe transport is likely used by other pipe-generating parts of the system and you don't want them to obtain access to the user you're running sympa as. -D -- How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/ pgpWsI7Vvc4eQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
