Sorry, I had the config snippet from one attempt and the log snippet from
another. "/tmp/smtp.batch/${host}" appeared as the directory argument for
the shadow_local transport.
To simplify matters, I get the same error when I use this config:
shadow_local:
driver = appendfile
file = /tmp/batchthis
bsmtp = all
prefix =
suffix =
user = exim
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
maildir_format
directory = ${local_part}
group = mail
mode = 0600
shadow_transport = shadow_local
And the log:
1998-06-29 06:04:43 0yqani-0005T7-00 => james <james@???>
D=localuser T=local_delivery ST=shadow_local (Expansion of
"/tmp/batchthis" (file or directory name for shadow_local transport)
failed: )
This is what really seems strange since there are no tokens to be expanded
in '/tmp/batchthis'. This configuration fails even if I set it up as the
argument for local_delivery (so passing /tmp/batchthis as an argument to
appendfile fails regardless of whether it's a shadow transport or not.)
