I have Exim delivering in the default mbox format with Exim delivering to /var/spool/virtual/[$domain]/[$local_part] and all the mails are concatenated to a single file for that user. Here is a transaction telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to somebox.somedomain.tld Escape character is '^]'. +OK POP3 Welcome to vm-pop3d 1.1.4 <965.1001423245 at somebox.somedomain.tld> user me at my.virtual.domain +OK pass my.password +OK opened mailbox for me stat +OK 0 0 -----> why is this? When I have dropped 2 mails there in a single file [$local_part] quit -ERR Quitting on signal -----> another Problem Connection closed by foreign host. A snippet from /var/log/maillog Sep 25 13:07:25 somebox vm-pop3d[965]: connect from localhost.somedomain.tld Sep 25 13:07:25 somebox vm-pop3d[965]: Connect from 127.0.0.1 Sep 25 13:07:41 somebox vm-pop3d[965]: User 'me' of 'my.virtual.domain' l Sep 25 13:10:34 somebox vm-pop3d[965]: Quitting on signal: 11 So apparently the problem centers a pop server setup for handling virtual domains.
