Subject: [exim] Delivery to local users without a home directory
    This may seem a rather unusual and dangerous requirement, but is there
any way to force exim to deliver mail (to /var/mail) for a user who 
doesn't yet have a home directory!
    I have managed to get past the check for a .forward file by checking 
for the existence of $home and using a global empty .forward if this 
fails. However delivery still gets deferred in the next router with a 
chdir failure.
