lmtp problems

Hi,

I'm running Exim 4.37 and Cyrus Imap on Debian sarge.
In the log files I get this error:

cyrus/deliver[14039]: connect(/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp) failed:
Permission denied

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Christian

Check if the transport is executed with the "correct" uid/gid that
corresponds with the access rights granted to the lmpt-socket.

A "ls -la" indicates:
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus lmtp 4096 Nov 25 11:02 socket

But how can I configure exim4 to use "cyrdeliver" as user cyrus or lmtp?

Thanks

Try adding the user exim runs as to the group "lmtp".
