Sorry to sidetrack this thread...
I'd like exim to create my users mail directories, but the following
router that I'm using to catch .forward files defers deliveries if the
users $home doesn't exist. Is there a way to make this router just fall
thru like .forward didn't exist if $home doesn't exist?
virtualhosting_local_fltrd:
driver = redirect
router_home_directory = ${lookup mysql {SELECT
'/var/mail/$domain/$local_part' FROM ....
file = $home/.forward
allow_filter
no_verify
...
