# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in
traditional
# BSD mailbox format.
#
mail_spool:
 debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain"
 driver = appendfile
 #sw fixed http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4379
 #debian file = /var/mail/$local_part
 file = /var/mail/$local_part_data
 delivery_date_add
 envelope_to_add
 return_path_add
 group = mail
 mode = 0660
 mode_fail_narrower = false

 #debian file = /var/mail/$local_part
 file = /var/mail*/$local_part_data *

 is needed or cron will not send mail to local users.   Logwatch is ok but
the rest of cron wont mail stuff, and users cannot mail each other.

Bug not in debian 10, and i hate exim. Change needs to be made in
/etc/exim4 and /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport based on split files.  See
http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4379 for part fix.

Basic setup but reporting cron job activity should not be that hard.
