| − | For integrating MailStore into an [[Wikipedia:Exim|Exim]] based email infrastructure, it is recommended to let [[Wikipedia:Exim|Exim]] put all emails into an archiving mailbox additionally to the default user's mailbox. It is necessary to create a new [[Wikipedia:Exim|Exim]] router and transport for that purpose.

| − | == Router ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The new [[Wikipedia:Exim|Exim]] router should look like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mailstore_router:
| |
| − | no_expn
| |
| − | no_verify
| |
| − | transport = mailstore_transport
| |
| − | driver = accept
| |
| − | unseen
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is mandatory to put that router in a place before any mailbox delivery is done. Making it the the first router in you Exim's router section is the most secure way if you do not want to miss a mail in your archive. Depending on your anti-spam or anti-virus protection it may also be suitable to put it right after the routers handling those actions.

| − | == Transport ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now that the router is defined and calls a transport called mailstore_transport, this one has to be set up also. A new transport can be put anywhere in Exim's transports section.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following code show a transport configuration, which makes [[Wikipedia:Exim|Exim]] store all emails in [[Wikipedia:Maildir|Maildir]] format at <tt>/var/mailstore/Maildir</tt>. If you want to store the emails elsewhere change the configuration according Exim's manual.

| − | mailstore_transport:

| − | driver = appendfile

| − | delivery_date_add
| |
| − | envelope_to_add
| |
| − | return_path_add
| |
| − | maildir_format = true
| |
| − | create_directory = true
| |
| − | directory = /var/mailstore/Maildir
| |
| − | | |
| − | Last but not least you need a system user who's IMAP home directory points to
| |
| − | <tt>/var/mailstore/Maildir</tt>. In most cases, like in Dovecot IMAP, it is enough to have a system user who's $HOME points to <tt>/var/mailstore</tt>.
