My setup runs on FreeBSD4.10 and uses Exim as the MTA which hands off to maildrop for local delivery for virtual users. I do this to enforce maildir quotas and to read user .mailfilter files. ...

I used to be a 100% Exim 4 man, but moved to Postfix 1 1/2 years ago. Still, I'll have a stab ...

Many thanks for trying to help.

I've tracked down the error to my system user setup. What was happening was that maildrop was trying to run sendmail as user "mailnull", but user "mailnull" had no default shell set and thus couldn't run the scripts that replaced sendmail with a call to exim. I've added a default shell to user "mailnull" and everything is working again.

Sorry to have disturbed the list with what was really a FreeBSD problem.

And thanks again for the help

Regards Graeme
