Relative to their inbox (/var/mail/$local_part/), which is a maildir.
Other transports are treating that as their hoem directory -- e.g.,
their vacation database lives in there.

So, rather than having to use:

if $h_list-id: contains "exim.org" then
save /var/mail/mjmcleod/.Exim/
[...]

I want that "save" line to just be:

save .Exim/
