Re: [exim] Default user account

Ok - I have hacked together maildir delivery:

I tried (update-exim.conf.conf):
LOCAL_DELIVERY='maildir_home'
(with and without quotes)

But running update-exim.conf did not yeild any change.

For the moment I hacked the exim4.conf.template to change the default
from mail_spool.

Is there a reason my update conf isn't working the way people say it should?

Cheers

Stephen
