Well this doesn't hurt at any rate, the old system of having the primary
deliver go to
file = /var/spool/mail/${localpart}
was also working. The mbox or Maildir specified in the local_delivery
transport of exim.conf gets the mail. The problem is that my .forward
file won't file mail to Maildirs, just mboxes. A stripped down example
is:
# Exim filter
if error_message then
finish
endif
if $h_Subject contains "mailtest" then
seen save $home/Maildir/test/
else
save $home/Maildir/inbox
endif
finish
# end .forward
According to the comments in exim.conf:TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION, it's
the address_directory transport that handles addresses generated by
.forward files. Could you send me that section?
TIA,
Paul
