I just updated to Exim 4.8 and have an issue I had never before with delivering incoming emails. When the local_delivery is set to file everything works fine, mail is delivered. But not when local_delivery set to user’s mailboxes. With first incoming email it creates /Maildir folder in the user home directory but all incoming mail will be frozen in queue and never delivered.
This is example of the error in Exim log file:
2013-02-09 07:33:08 1U49cB-0000A6-6a DKIM: d=yahoo.com s=s1024 c=relaxed/relaxed a=rsa-sha256 t=1360413156 [verification succeeded]

And my exim.conf setting for local delivery:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = $home/Maildir
maildir_format
maildir_use_size_file
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
Any idea what may cause this? I think I am missing something in my configuration but cannot find out what it may be.
