(It would help to include your exim.conf file as an attachment.)
If your exim.conf file was created by the eximconfig script, then the local_delivery transport is invoked by the localuser director.
Notice how the localuser director uses the localuser driver. If the "shared" localpart is not backed by a user with the same name, then the localuser director will decline to handle messages addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
If you comment out the "driver = localuser" line, then you may get the desired result. (I don't recall whether Exim will use the driver specified by the transport.) Also try "driver = smartuser".
Rather, the solution is to get one of the directors to accept the "shared" localpart.

Hello -
I am running debian testing with Exim (3.36) and Cyrus Imap (1.5.19).
I'm having difficulty configuring exim to deliver mail to a shared folder.
I created a shared folder with cyradm, like this:
linux:/var/spool/cyrus/mail# cyradm -u mailadmin 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 password: 127.0.0.1> cm shared 127.0.0.1> sam shared anyone lrswipcda 127.0.0.1> lam shared anyone lrswipcda
I can use cyrdeliver to send email to the folder: linux:/var/spool/cyrus/mail# cat sample_mail |cyrdeliver -m shared
However, this will not work: linux:/var/spool/cyrus/mail# mail shared -s "Sample" < sample_mail
Neither does this linux:/var/spool/cyrus/mail# mail bb+shared -s "Sample" < sample_mail
They both result in error messages in the /var/log/exim/mainlog: ** shared: unknown local-part "shared" in domain "linux"
Here is the transport section of exim.conf local_delivery: driver = pipe command = "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver ${local_part}" return_path_add return_output prefix = "" user = cyrus
Am I missing something else in the exim.conf?
Please cc: me directly on responses.
