Hello again!
I apologize for my persistence, but I would like to know if it is possible with new Exim to create automatically new subdirectories for address suffixes in maildir mailboxes. Or it doesn't work because any destination path should be de-tainted via lookup, and lookup for non-existing directories isn't possible.
Maybe I don't understand something about de-tainting. There is no fresh documentation on my native language and maybe I missed some important things when I read English text.
It is important to me to know should I spend my time trying to find the solution of the issue with Exim or I should look to third-party utilities. Maybe it would be better for me to set up local delivery with Dovecot and Sieve rules.

Ivanov
