jmtd → log → mail for mail
On a new Debian stable install, exim4 will accept mail for local user "mail",
and save it to /var/mail/mail
. If you also tell exim4 that you want to use
Maildirs rather than mbox files, it will create and populate
/var/mail/Maildir
instead. I'm not sure whether this is can be considered a
bug or not, but if you don't want this, add
mail: :fail:
to /etc/aliases
. I've just discovered 1,664 spams on one site sitting in
/var/mail/Maildir
.
