Hi folks,

I know this is maybe not the best place to ask, but the Exim and Cyrus
mailing lists seem to discuss concept more than config...

I've read the docs for Exim and for Cyrus IMAPd, various HOWTOs and such,
but cannot seem to get exim to deliver locally over LMTP to Cyrus IMAPd.

Does anyone out there have this sort of thing working OK, and wouldn't
mind pointing me to some good documentation or sharing the salient parts
of their config with me?

I have Exim version 4.02, and the Cyrus-imap port (v 2.0.16).

Exim works - it will accept mail and deliver it locally to the default 
location.  The IMAP server seems to be running, as I can log in using
cyradm and do what cyradm allows you to do.  I just can't figure out 
what rules to add to Exim's config to make it pass any local mail to
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver.  I have even tried Philip Hazel's sample
rules for Cyrus interaction, but to no avail.

What I am struggling most to find out is how Exim decides what router
to use - the rules I have tried LOOK like they should work, but all I see
from Exim is that messages are being delivered with the localuser router
and the local_delivery transport.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have been working on this now
for what feels like weeks, and I need some sleep  ;-)

TIA,

Dan
