I've already ask this on Thu, 23 Dec 1999 14:07:59 +0100, maybe it got lost
                                                   under the the Xmas tree :-)


I've the entry

                  local_delivery:
                    driver = appendfile
                    file = /var/mail/${local_part}
                    group = mail
                    mode = 0660


in the "directors section" of my configuration and exim refuses to deliver
due to "failed to chdir to /home/user0815".

Why is the home directory needed for local deliveries and how to overcome
the problem and force delivery ?
