Post subject:  exim running as user 104

I'm running Debian and I want exim to only be used for outgoing mail (notices, warnings, etc...)

I modified my config file at /etc/exim/exim.conf.O and uncommented this line then I restarted the service.

local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1

This doesn't appear to work, I can still send mail to the box.

Some time ago I upgraded to exim4 and in my /etc directory I have both the monolithic config and the directory config (under exim4)

1. This might sound stupid but how do I know which one exim is using?

2. When I restarted the process exim4 is now running as user 104, and not root as it used to. Is this normal?

Thanks for any tips!

If you have both you'll be using the monolithic exim4.conf

I think I'm being an idiot and exim has always been running as 104.


As for my other problem, running

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

seems to cleared things up a bit. I'm pretty sure exim.conf isn't being used anymore as it doesn't get update by the dpkg process. This file does however:

update-exim4.conf.conf
