Well, system_aliases has both user and mail set appropriately. Which
director are you talking about?
The rest of this message comprises three files:
1) My complete exim configure file.
2) -d9 output trying to accept mail for arbuser when arbuser has a
non-existent home directory and _no_ /etc/aliases entry.
3) -d9 output trying to accept mail for arbuser when arbuser has a
non-existent home directory and an /etc/aliases entry.
I'm persisting because of the surprise suggested in your last reply.
Otherwise, I'd just assume that I'm being an idiot and continue with the
hack-around I'm using now.
By the way, is it really sensible behaviour to fail on forward-file
lookup failure, instead of defaulting to delivery into /var/mail (or
wherever)?
Ciao,
Sheldon.
