I'm trying to set up Exim to deliver mail to maildir rather than mbox and am not having any luck. I have made the change in the exim.conf file to enable maildir_format (removed the has before the line), then it refers to naming a directory in the .forward or alias as the base directory for the maildir. But try as I might I cannot get this to work - can anyone but someone who currently feels realy stupid out of their misery and let me know how I can get mail deliverd to the maildir $HOME/.maildir using exim
Exim3 or 4? Debian woody/stable uses Exim3 ... and I don't know if maildir support is compiled in. I expect it is ...
The transport stanza is a variation on
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
#file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
# group = mail
# mode = 0660
# NOW USES MAILDIR
directory = ${home}/Maildir
maildir_format = true
#prefix = ""-jim
