Package: exim4-daemon-light Version: 4.44-2 Severity: normal I had a perfectly working system and then decided to try Maildir instead of the standard mbox file format. I followed the instructions in README.Maildir and exim restarted working very well. Every email received via SMTP is correctly accepted and delivered but local emails are giving a permission denied error. Here an example when I send an email to myself:
