You haven't been following this thread. :-) That is what was tried
initially, and it doesn't work. Any expansion failure of file_directory
causes the director give an error and defer delivery.

Sorry, that's just the way it is. What Ingvarr will have to do is to add
a "condition" setting with the same lookup. That can be used to skip the
director if the lookup fails. The repeated lookup for file_directory
should not be expensive, because Exim caches the most recent lookup.
