Many thanks Jeremy Apologies for the wrong threading and delay in responding, I'm not getting list replies as direct mails.
That explains a lot! I must have found someone's suggested config and adapted that, when I set it up fifteen years ago. I'm using the Debian split config, and would probably be better to reconfigure and choose the single-file format. But I suspect the Debian version is different in other ways beyond that. The Debian exim forum (or the only one I found) seems to be pretty dead and all in German. It would make sense to start from scratch on the new server. May I put down my requirements here and ask for suggestions e.g. existing example configs? What I currently have and need to replicate is as follows. I have two local domains I receive mails for. I use /etc/aliases, and also files for each domain of the form /etc/exim4/virtual/<domain> which contain redirects for all valid users. Each valid mail ends up in one of four Maildirs, under /var/mail/virtual/local though I'm told that path is now tainted. I can change the path to whatever would be valid, so long as it doesn't have to be a Linux user's home dir, as one of my users is virtual and has no entry in /etc/passwd and no home dir. (Though I can create one if I have to.) /etc/aliases and the domain files have some lines which pipe mails for certain users to scripts that handle them. This is the way I create my own basic mailing lists though they go as plaintext not SSL or TLS and might now be better handled a different way. Thanks!
