Pkg exim4 users - Sep 2010 - Pkg-exim4-users Digest, Vol 61, Issue 1

Getting exim to use Maildir is a little more involved than that single 
command.

My config looks like this:

#####################################################
### transport/30_exim4-config_maildir_home
#####################################################

# Use this instead of mail_spool if you want to to deliver to Maildir in
# home-directory - change the definition of LOCAL_DELIVERY
#
maildir_home:
   debug_print = "T: maildir_home for $local_part@$domain"
   driver = appendfile
   .ifdef MAILDIR_HOME_MAILDIR_LOCATION
   directory = MAILDIR_HOME_MAILDIR_LOCATION
   .else
   directory = $home/Maildir
   .endif
   .ifdef MAILDIR_HOME_CREATE_DIRECTORY
   create_directory
   .endif
   .ifdef MAILDIR_HOME_CREATE_FILE
   create_file = MAILDIR_HOME_CREATE_FILE
   .endif
   delivery_date_add
   envelope_to_add
   return_path_add
   maildir_format
   .ifdef MAILDIR_HOME_DIRECTORY_MODE
   directory_mode = MAILDIR_HOME_DIRECTORY_MODE
   .else
   directory_mode = 0700
   .endif
   .ifdef MAILDIR_HOME_MODE
   mode = MAILDIR_HOME_MODE
   .else
   mode = 0600
   .endif
   mode_fail_narrower = false

Best,

Chris

Actually it is not ...

[...]

... since your snippet is part of the standard Debian exim
configuration. Change the definition of LOCAL_DELIVERY does th trick.
And the dc_localdelivery settinng in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
does exactly this.
