Email Problems

[Peter Verrill]

Hey All,

Some of my email accounts are not working. I created these two users within a space of 30secs but only one recieves email. Here is the Exim Log:

2003-12-01 19:28:17 1AQtiT-0002v9-Np == admin@breakoutpaintball.co.uk R=virtual_user T=virtual_localdelivery defer (-6): mailbox /var/spool/virtual/breakoutpaintball.co.uk/admin has wrong uid (0 != 506)
2003-12-01 19:28:17 1AQtiT-0002v9-Np => trips <trips@breakoutpaintball.co.uk> R=virtual_user T=virtual_localdelivery

admin@breakout... fails but trips@breakout... works.

I have tried deleting the entire user from the system but this has no affect.

Anyone have any ideas how this can be globally resolved?

try:
chown 506 /var/spool/virtual/breakoutpaintball.co.uk/admin
(as root)

That seems to have fixed it, thanks :)
