Re: qmail - my experiences with the competition

    I wonder if there is a way to prevent exim from stat()ing
    a homedir before opening .forward file.  Some of our users
    don't have home directories (i.e., whatever getpwnam() returns
    is wrong and non-existent), while others do, and .forward
    processing is required in the latter case.

    When exim can't stat() a homedir, it freezes the message,
    and I'd like to have a way of ignoring the director in such
    case.

    Smail works fine in this case.
