Hello,

I have a mail server which runs Exim. The problem I have is that the users
maildir is visible inside their home directories. This is a potential
problem because it can be easily deleted my mistake.

Is the Exim MTA able to be configured so that the maildir can be hidden as
.maildir?


Of course, in your transport for maildir, you probably have something like:
maildir_home:
        driver          = appendfile
        directory       = $home/Maildir
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        return_path_add
        maildir_format
        mode            = 0600
        mode_fail_narrower = false

What you have to do is to change the "directory" variable to the one you wish (i.e: directory = $home/.maildir) .

However, you will also have to move all mails to this directory manually, and you may have to reconfigure your pop/imap/webmail services too to reflect this change.
