exim4 stopped delivering local mail after upgrade (sid)

Show all headers | View raw

I'm running sid and after upgrading packages today, exim stopped
working. It's keeping all my local mail in /var/spool/exim4/msglog and
not delivering it, and even when I type "runq" it won't deliver the
mail.

# exim4 -qff -v

In /var/spool/mail, there's a file for in inbox, marie, with marie as
the uid and mail as the gid. This is how it's been for years. The file
/var/spool/mail itself is a link (owned by root, group root) to
/var/mail, which is also root.root.

I haven't had a single problem on my system in so long, and this has
me stumped. I appreciate anyone's help - I'd like to get my mail back
asap!

Thanks so much!!

Marie
