Well, I see I can do this with authuserdb. But this is clumsy, because
there is a real UID/GID and mail is getting picked up and delivered to a
mailbox, so authuserdb would be a fairly silly thing to use. (For
reference, here's the relevant bit in exim.conf:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
)
There are a number of reasons why I want all mail folders in one place. I
might well choose another directory (people expect just inboxes in
/var/spool/mail, I suppose) but the main one is that I want to be able to
do permission-based intranet style websearching and indexing, and also to
be able to hand out URLs to specific messages which can be managed by one
web document root.
