[Pkg-exim4-users] defer (-21): appendfile: file or directory name … is not absolute

[Léon Dignòn]

Hello,

using Debian and Exim 4 I extended /etc/update-exim4.conf.conf with this line:

MAILDIR_HOME_MAILDIR_LOCATION='/var/mail/$local_part'

Unfortunately I receive an error message:

root at beispiel:~# echo "My letter" | mail -v -s "My Subject" contoso
LOG: MAIN
  <= root at beispiel.de U=root P=local S=328
root at beispiel:~# delivering 1LtoeS-0003Ue-IH

LOG: MAIN
  == contoso at beispiel.de R=local_user T=maildir_home defer (-21):
appendfile: file or directory name "'/var/mail/contoso'" is not
absolute

What is the problem?
