2.3. Configuring Exim4 for Maildir Delivery

Unlike configuring Exim3 for Maildir, the configuration for Exim4 is straightforward. If you choose to use the debconf generated configuration file, you need merely open /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and make a single edit. Add the option dc_localdelivery to the end of the file with a value of maildir_home, or change its value if it already exists, as shown below. (Future versions of debconf configuration will likely include this as a configuration time option for the Debian package of Exim4.)

dc_localdelivery=maildir_home

Now, restart the daemon.

nebula:~# invoke-rc.d exim4 reload
Reloading exim4 configuration files

If you recycled a previous Exim3 configuration with Maildir already configured, discussed above, then you need not do anything. You're done.
