Hi,
in
http://bugs.debian.org/383469, the reporter has noticed that exim
doesn't deliver e-mail to a user with an inaccessible home directory,
even if the delivery target is somewhere else, for example in
/var/spool.
I can reproduce this.
2006-08-17 17:14:03 1GDjZL-0008M3-Ug == user@??? R=local_user T=mail_spool defer (13): Permission denied: failed to chdir to /home/user
with /home/user having mode 000.
I am now wondering whether it makes sense (and is desireable) to set
home_directory = / on our local delivery transports in the Debian
default config.
Is there a reason why exim's default example configuration doesn't do
this?
Greetings
Marc
