Bug#333518: Exim4 Maildir unrouteable address

That sounds more like a routing than a maildir problem. Please give the output of exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] and exim -d -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] The resolution is to completely delete the mailbox and make a new Maildir. That's of course a way too radical solution which can be mediated by more careful debugging. Lowering severity since the issue can be addressed without losing user's data. If the requested debug output is not delivered by November 30, 2005, this bug will be closed, and the submitter is encouraged to re-open the bug or file a new one once debugging output is available.

Please give the output of exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] and exim -d -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] The bug reporter delivered debug output of a successful routing attempt, which of course didn't show any hints for the failure. The bug reporter, however, uses a locally tailored /etc/exim4/exim4.conf and delivers via ~/.forward and a pipe to procmail. This is sufficiently different from our standard setup that I dare to say that - should this behavior indeed show to be a bug - (a) the Debian exim4 packages using their default configuration are most probably not affected and (b) the issue either is a .forward, pipe and/or procmail issue and would not occur if exim's own delivery methods were used. Anyway, I fail to see where a delivery failure to a maildir can result in the error unrouteable address, which at least sounds like a routing issue.

Bug#333518: Exim4 Maildir unrouteable address
Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8 Severity: important I have had problems with the combination of Dovecot (Pop3), Exim4 (Maildir), Spamassassin and Procmail. In one year I had for the second time a users Maildir crashed, so that i got: ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address ([EMAIL PROTECTED] stands for the users mail address). The resolution is to completely delete the mailbox and make a new Maildir. I do not know what program is responsible but it is a really ugly bug, because all mail sent to the address will be lost. It is a seldom bug though and I do also not know under what circumstances it comes to live.
