create_directory       Use: appendfile   Type: boolean          Default: true


    When this option is true, Exim attempts to create any missing superior
    directories for the file that it is about to write. A created directory's
    mode is given by the "directory_mode" option. The group ownership of a     |
    newly created directory is highly dependent on the operating system (and   |
    possibly the file system) that is being used. For example, in Solaris, if  |
    the parent directory has the setgid bit set, its group is propagated to    |
    the child; if not, the currently set group is used. However, in FreeBSD,   |
    the parent's group is always used.                                         |
