Hi, in http://bugs.debian.org/383469, the reporter has noticed that exim doesn't deliver e-mail to a user with an inaccessible home directory, even if the delivery target is somewhere else, for example in /var/spool.
I can reproduce this. 2006-08-17 17:14:03 1GDjZL-0008M3-Ug == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=local_user T=mail_spool defer (13): Permission denied: failed to chdir to /home/user with /home/user having mode 000. I am now wondering whether it makes sense (and is desireable) to set home_directory = / on our local delivery transports in the Debian default config. Is there a reason why exim's default example configuration doesn't do this?
