I have some strange behavior with the home_directory option in a
transport with 4.12. I thought it was designed.
I want to have virtual users without home directories.
The router:
# just before userforward, virtual users, ie local but no home dir
# and no forward of course
# 41.6 of manual, p222
virtualLocals:
driver = accept
check_local_user
# Q0423 users without home directories break test of
# NFS .forward location so put this just before userforward
local_parts = lsearch;/home/exim/dv/addresses
transport = virtualDelivery
The transport:
virtualDelivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
# group = mail
group = mail
# keep eye on this mode
# mode = 0660
mode = 0660
# what is a reasonable quota
quota = 500K
quota_warn_threshold = 75%
# virtual users
# home_directory = /
# user = exim
With the home_directory option commented out, running with
-d-all+route and -v flags gives me this output:

If I uncomment the home_directory assignment line, the output is:

I was going to suggest that the answer to FAQ Q0423 about users
with no home directories and the advice on virtual domains in
41.6 needed supplementation.
