} I am trying to figure a way to change a system that is very overloaded
} running smail to run exim. This system is a departmental mail hub run
} by semi-literate folks that just barely understand the smail way of
} doing 'mailing lists'. In /etc/smail/lists, there are 2 files for each
} list. One holds the list of valid emails ( say 'list1' ) and the other
} file is 'owner-list1' that holds a single email address that any
} problems with this list would go to. Has anyone tried to do this with
} exim?
You should be able to do this very simply with a forward file director.
BTW I handle the list stuff on our list box, very simply. Smartlist
constructs a directory per list - /var/spool/slist/<listname> with a set
of files in, and there is then a list director and transport, the director
is:-
list_director:
driver = smartuser,
suffix = -request,
suffix_optional,
except_local_parts = ".bin:.etc",
require_files = /var/spool/slist/${local_part}/rc.init,
transport = list_transport;
and the transport:-
list_transport:
driver = pipe;
command = "/var/spool/slist/.bin/flist ${local_part}${local_part_suffix}"
,
current_directory = "/var/spool/slist",
home_directory = "/var/spool/slist",
user = slist,
group = slist
Each list added is automatically picked up with no need to add aliases etc.
