Since switching to Debian Etch, I no longer get messages (from cron and logcheck) delivered to my user-mailbox. Exim 4 delivers them to the mail-queue in /var/spool/exim4/input; when the queue is emptied, they appear to end up in /dev/null.
The following uncovered advice in "man update-exim4.conf: | dc_localdelivery | | name of the default transport for local mail delivery. Defaults to | mail_spool if unset, use maildir_home for delivery to ~/Maildir/. This | setting does not correspond to a Debconf question and needs to be set | manually. is too cryptic for me. I would welcome a fuller explanation of what it says, and guidance on the correct entry in "update-exim4.conf" to post local mail to my user-mailbox. In case it is relevant, my "postmaster" alias is "root" and my "root" alias is the normal user.
