..so that it just appends incoming mails to /var/mail/$user
Philip found the final solution :)
There is one option "require_files = ${home}" to make exim only look for
forwardfiles if the specific users has a homedir. A second option
"current_directory = "/"" avoids an attempt to chdir to that
(non-existing) dir.
Entries in a default config file should then look like this:
[...]
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
current_directory = "/"
file = /var/mail/${local_part}
group = mail
mode = 0660
[...]
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
require_files = ${home}
file = .forward
no_verify
check_ancestor
# filter
[...]
