Title: Exim: Emails getting stuck in mail queue; error unable to set gid=32009 or uid=3
Post by: anandhuo on September 29, 2017, 05:53:03 am
In exim, if the emails are getting stuck in the mail queue and you are getting the error:

unable to set gid=32009 or uid=32007 (euid=47): system filter

then you can perform the following steps to resolve this issue:

1. check the exim maillog /var/log/exim_mainlog

tailf /var/log/exim_mainlog
error: unable to set gid=32009 or uid=32007 (euid=47): system filter

2. Check the permission of /usr/sbin/exim

ls -la /usr/sbin/exim

3. Check whether the SUID permission is given to the file, if not set SUID permission.

chmod u+s /usr/sbin/exim

4. Restart exim service

service exim restart

5. Now you may check the log file and you can see the mails in the mail queue getting delivered.

6. Check the mail queue

exim -bpc

I hope that the article was helpful. :)
