Onderwerp: [EXIM] local users without homedir
Hello out there,

I'm new to this list and also sorry if this question has already been
asked in the past. I didn't find a hint in the docu so I put it here:

Our mailhost has several local domains, some of them have users without a
home directory but an entry in /etc/passwd. The mail is expected to be
delivered to /var/mail/$username in order to let POP work for them.

With standard config, exim wants to check for $homedir/.forward, causing
an error message and a deferred delivery.
Simply uncommenting the userforward entries doesn't help.

How can I configure exim so that it doesn't checks a user's homedir at
all?

Thanks in advance,
Volker

PS: exim 1.92 and 1.82 on HP-UX 10.20 (compiled fine w/o errs or warns :)
