Exactly.  Using your 'exim4 -bt <user>' tip I established that the
router in question is local_user, and sure enough it contains the line
check_local_user, which I commneted out, and deliveries to accounts
without home directories now work.

I've already checked to see if exim now delivers messages with local
parts that don't exist as accounts, and it dosen't, so that's OK (the
local_user router is skipped entirely if the local part is not a local
user).

Setting router_home_diectory to some directory or other would do it, but
this is a litlle messy.

If there aren't any unforseen consequences I'll stick with simply
commenting out check_local_user.

Thanks a lot for your help.
