[Exim] Permissions issue?

--
Do users have to have a home directory before exim can deliver mail to
them?

I have just installed exim 3.36 on an new server and moved the password
file from my old server to this new one without creating the users' home
directories. I keep getting the following error message.

2002-07-16 16:48:01 17UUWv-00089b-00 == funnymessage@???
<funnymessage@???> T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission
denied: failed to chdir to /home/funnymessage

In my configure file I have

local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode=0660

There is no userforward director being used (its been commented out).
