Hi,
I trying to re-configure exim to deliver local mail in Maildir format rather than mbox but after re-configuring it still delivers in /var/mail
I ran
$ dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
Chose local delivery and maildir_home. The config went OK and the MTA restarted. Running the following,
$ echo "body" | mail -s "test" $USER
showed the message appended in /var/mail/$USER not in ~/Maildir ! I created ~/Maildir via mb2md but still messages go to spool not ~/Maildir.
The file /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf has the line
dc_localdelivery='maildir_home'
Any ideas anyone ?
