@Steffen,
Thanks for your input, and please excuse my clearly stupid questions.. ;)
The files q1.. belong to ~/mail/new/ . Exim does not spool them as Maildir. I would recommend to use Dovecot LDA or LMTP.
where / how do I get that to work ?
I've added the required stuff to the dovecot and exim configs, but clearly I need to install dovecot-lmtpd (error message about not finding the executable)
However I needed to install dovecot from source (as I couldn't get the server to accept backports ?). Any advice on upgrading / changing the install ?
Can I simply make a copy of the whole of my config (which otherwise works), then do the same install from a /deb source file for lmtpd, then copy my config back to this location?
Or do you advise some other path for the upgrade ?
thanks.
David
