Then, through the installation of some additional tools, I also got an update for Exim (now Exim version 4.84 #1 built 25-Jan-2015 22:16:19). Since then I receive the following error message, when I try to send emails: -----> snip <----- 2015-04-24 14:20:21 unable to set gid=3D544 or uid=3D18 (euid=3D197108): privilege not needed -----> snap <----- Google was no help at all here and all I got out of this was, that I should not need the privilege because I have it already, but then it fails to get the privilege. Very confusing and not helping at all. Especially, when nothing changed but the update. One thing that was odd though, was that the output of mkpasswd -l changed. Some shell entries switched from /bin/false to /bin/bash. But I tried both versions and neither one works. FYI, I renamed Administrator to root in the passwd and group file.
