I just created a new Virtual POP3 user inside of my DA's Admin account for a friend of mine. I went to send him a test email and he said he never recieved it so I decided to wander into the exim logs. I immediately found the following:

2004-11-06 11:20:44 Received from *****@gmail.com U=mail P=spam-scanned S=1566 [email protected] T="Test"
2004-11-06 11:20:44 [email protected] R=virtual_user T=virtual_localdelivery defer (-6): mailbox /var/spool/virtual/modemnet.org/az3rch has wrong uid (99 != 500)
2004-11-06 11:40:58 [email protected] R=virtual_user T=virtual_localdelivery defer (-6): mailbox /var/spool/virtual/modemnet.org/az3rch has wrong uid (99 != 500)

Inside of linux my Admin user has the UID of 500, but why is it saying that the az3rch user wants to have a UID of 99? I checked linux and there is nothing in it about a UID 99 or user with that UID.

Any ideas??
 
Try deleting the mailbox from within DA and adding it again.

You could also verify the deletion by checking if the mailbox localy is deleted and then adding it again. (check the rights on the file ;) ) " /var/spool/virtual/modemnet.org/az3rch "
 
It was definately a permissions problem. I checked that file and compared to the other mail spool files in there, it's owner/group was "Nobody/Nobody".

All fixed now :)
