Remember to change the transport as well.

  Setting this up consist of these steps:
  
   1. Prepare the default exim4 config to use LDAP for user information.
+  1. Prepare the default exim4 config to deliver to /var/spool/mail in maildir format.
   1. Decide which DNS domain to use for public email (using example.com).
   1. Set up the exim4 configuration with the new DNS domain
   1. Change mail name for tjener to get valid addresses in outgoing email.

+ The default maildir delivery put the emails in the users home directory.  To make sure email are delivered to /var/spool/mail/ where the IMAP server expect to find them, add a new transport for this, based on the 30_exim4-config_maildir_home transport.
