The default exim config says:
# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in
# traditional BSD mailbox format. By default it will be run under the uid
# and gid of the local user, and requires the sticky bit to be set on the
# /var/mail
directory.
# Some systems use the alternative approach of running mail deliveries
# under
a
# particular group instead of using the sticky bit. The commented options
below
# show how this can be done.
I should have been clearer- the default exim config used the mail group
method:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
