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.
