I've been getting a bunch of these messages on a fairly new testing installation. According to the Exim FAQ, this error happens when users don't have home directories, but I do. My exim.conf includes localhost in the local_domains definition. I'm receiving email (using fetchmail). And, of course, all these error messages are arriving!
I was just going to try to figure this out without bothering you guys, but it turns out all my correspondents are getting the error message even though I'm getting their emails! So it's a bit urgent. I'm pretty sure this is the offending machine because it's the only one in my little network which fetches mail.
