what does: ls /var/mail/paul tell you? is it a file, or a directory?
BTW /var/spool/mail is just a symlink to /var/mail, hence my use of it
above.

${local_part} is taken from the recipiant's email address. if someone
sent you an email (to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the exim splits up the address on
the @ and sets two variables:
local_part: paul
domain: foo.com
so if you were doing multiple domains on one box, you could do:
file = /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${local_part}
or some such.
