RE: [Exim] How exim looks up users.

Don't forget of course the "user" and "group" settings you can specify :)

Snippet from my config file:

virtual_delivery:
        driver                  = appendfile
        maildir_format          = yes
        return_path_add         = yes
        envelope_to_add         = yes
        delivery_date_add       = yes
        user                    = 20
        group                   = 20
        directory               = ${lookup mysql{SELECT path FROM domain
WHERE host = '${quote_mysql:$domain}'}}/${quote_local_part:$local_part}

is, is that since it's looking up these users in /some/file they won't have
UID/GID's. So I want exim to put all mail into /var/mail/<$local_part> under
the exim GID so people will need to be in exim group. Since of course these
won't be users with shells there shouldn't be a problem with everyone
reading everyone elses mail.

simple:

# Local delivery to user mailboxes.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
return_path_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
delivery_date_add = true
file = /var/mail/$local_part
