I suspect "one-user setup" means a virtual user system without real
user accounts. (Hence all mail being stored under the same ("one")
userid.) If this is the case, I have ran into this problem myself.
My solution was to use create_file, patched to work for maildir. See
http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20010528/026461.html
for patch.
