Hi List,

I've been running Exim for a few months at a smallish office site,
recently I migrated the system to Courier-IMAP (with Maildir format
delivery by Exim).

I recently switched from Sendmail to Exim because of a bug in sendmail (woody) that would bounce mail to usernames with numbers only...

Anyway... I found a lot of users with mail caught in the local mailq..

Looking closer at my problem.. Those users whose mail found its way to mailq spool was because they didn't have a /home/username ... Exim was looking for the .forward file in /home/username.. not finding /home/username.. it would spool to queue..

Have you looked in your mail queue ?

Just a thought.. hope it helps :)
