exim problem !!! Another one :-(

[Domenico]

I have some problems with users not recieving email and know I see this in my log files;

T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: failed to chdir to /root

What does this mean? Am I under attack?

chmod +x /root

Hmm, and what does this do exactly ?

I see these all the time in exim_mainlog .. what does this mean?

 

[MichaelShanks]

messages sent to root are usually just error messages from services,

chmod +x /root will just allow exim to change to that directory, don\'t be surprised if you get another message saying it can\'t change dir to /root/mail/ you will just have to do the same again

do you have any other strings from your exim_mainlog which may explain why your clients arn\'t recieving mail?

No not one so that makes it even more difficult.
