On a more general point, I have modified the ~transport/30_exim4- config_mail_spool file to read mail_spool: debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain" driver = appendfile # file = /var/mail/$local_part delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add group = mail mode = 0660 directory = ${home}/Maildir maildir_format mode_fail_narrower = false The values I have changed are directory and maildir_format. How can I maintain those changes in my local settings file? Thanx. Dp.

I thought you only used the files under ~/conf.d or exim4.conf.template. I didn''t realise that you can use ~/conf.d and update-exim4.conf.conf Thanx. Dp.
