[Pkg-exim4-users] What permissions is exim to have for your Maildir

[Alex Bennee]

Hi,

I've just been tweaking my setup to add a special delivery for a fixed
user into a non-standard Maildir location (rather than creating the
normal user in the system). Everything seems to be routing correctly
except when exim attempts to deliver my message it complains about
permissions.

The odd thing is my working normal Maildir has perfectly simple
rwx------ permissions and exim delivers into it fine. I was under the
impression that the exim delivery ran as root and shouldn't have
problems putting things in my Mailbox.

Can anyone clarify what privileges the process that is writing into my
Maildir should have? If it's not root then how come my other maildirs
work OK?
