Do you know why exim wants to access the home dir? Does it search a
forward file there? For me, it looks like a bug that the forward router
fails if the home directory is missing.

Hi Jörg

I think you may be on to something there.

I have copied and pasted my userforward router, if you or anyone wouldnt mind overlooking it, I would be most grateful.

userforward:
  debug_print = "R: userforward for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
  driver = redirect
  domains = +local_domains
  check_local_user
  file = $home/.forward
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
  allow_filter
  directory_transport = address_directory
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
  skip_syntax_errors
  syntax_errors_to = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  syntax_errors_text = \
  This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
  been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
  reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
  a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
  to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
  a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
  a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
  mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
  forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
  happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.

I was wondering if I shouldnt add something like

local_parts = ! root

or

local_parts = /etc/exim4/blocked_local_parts

Kind Regards
Brent Clark
