Hello again!
I apologize for my persistence, but I would like to know if it is possible with
new Exim to create automatically new subdirectories for address suffixes in
maildir mailboxes. Or it doesn't work because any destination path should be
de-tainted via lookup, and lookup for non-existing directories isn't possible.
Maybe I don't understand something about de-tainting. There is no fresh
documentation on my native language and maybe I missed some important things
when I read English text.
It is important to me to know should I spend my time trying to find the
solution of the issue with Exim or I should look to third-party utilities.
Maybe it would be better for me to set up local delivery with Dovecot and Sieve
rules.
