On modern Linux versions, one important additional place to check (beyond SELinux and/or AppArmor) is in the systemd .service file for Exim. Your distribution may have turned on various systemd protections that can do things like give Exim (running as a service) its own isolated /tmp directory tree. I know that Ubuntu has started to do this in recent Ubuntu releases. (Systemd settings like 'PrivateTmp' can also complicate debugging programs started from Exim, including in people's .forwards.) - cks -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## [email protected] ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
