Hey,
Seen a few other posts like this but they don't seem to help.

/var/log/exim/mainlog shows:
2004-05-22 11:11:40 1BRTTd-0002W0-HM == statik@blue.real-hosts.com <statik@statik-irc.real-hosts.com> R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: creating lock file hitching post /var/mail/statik.lock.blue.real-hosts.com.40af275c.000025d2 (euid=685 egid=12)

Im gussing this is a Permission/Ownage problem?

Hello,

Whats the permission on the /var/mail directory? Make sure it's set to chmod 1777 and chown mail:mail.
