Pkg exim4 users - Jun 2005 - Diversion of root messages to maildir_home

Not working here...
Added dc_localdelivery=''maildir_home'' to
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
Appropriate /etc/aliases entry:

dave: real-dave
root: real-dave

ran dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and restarted.
System messages for root still delivered to /var/mail/dave in mbox
format, /home/dave/Maildir not automagically created.

Manually created with mkdir -p Maildir/{cur,new,tmp}, still no luck,
same behavior.

exim4 -bV shows Configuration file is
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated

This file shows:
.ifndef LOCAL_DELIVERY
LOCAL_DELIVERY=maildir_home
.endif

Googled to no joy so far.  Any suggestions?

What does exim -d -bt root say?

That looks fine.

What does exim -bP transport maildir_home say?

Thanks, that looks fine.

Now let''s try

echo foo | exim4 -d dave

and see what exim actually does when trying to deliver a message.
