From the Exim User Guide:

    If `check_local_user' is set without `file_directory', then the
    user's home directory is set in the `home' expansion variable when
    expanding the `file' option that specifies a forward or filter file.


This is _not_ what you want, since ${HOME} for your users is invalid.

If `file_directory' is set without `check_local_user', then the
expanded value of `file_directory' is set in the `home' expansion
variable when expanding the `file' option. If `home' appears in the
string for `file_directory', its substitution value is the empty
string.

This _is_ what you want. :-)
