Marius

Mine is

local_delivery:
   driver = appendfile
   delivery_date_add
   envelope_to_add
   return_path_add
   mode = 0660
   directory_mode = 0770
   directory = $home
   maildir_format
   create_directory

I noticed I did not have the create_directory directive, which I added, 
but to no avail :/ (Yes I did restart exim!)
