Bug ID: 2655
Summary: Solution for local delivery to suffixes subdirectories
in maildir mailboxes is wrong
Product: Exim
Version: 4.94
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: unallocated@exim.org
Reporter: ivanov+bugs@anarhist.net
CC: exim-dev@exim.org

Hello! I try to use Exim 4.94 as my post server and I want to use address
suffixes and local delivery to subdirectories in maildir mailboxes.

I've used this solution from the official documentation (ch. 26.5):

directory = /var/mail/$local_part_data\
${if eq{$local_part_suffix}{}{}\
{/.${substr_1:$local_part_suffix}}}
maildirfolder_create_regex = /\.[^/]+$

In my case I use a mail directory inside a home directory and the path
'/home/$local_part_data/.maildir' instead of '/var/mail/$local_part_data'.

After that I've got the error "Tainted '/home/user/.maildir/.test' (file or
directory name for local_delivery transport) not permitted".

I'm a newbie in Exim and confused about this error. I understand that tainted
data may not be used for a directory name, but I don't know how to specify in
this case a path to directories that should be created from local part
suffixes.

If you know a possible solution for this case, tell me please.
