I have sender_verify on and sender_verify_fixup, and I have rewrite rules
in the configure file for
*@something.net $1@???
where the MX records for something.net point to the machine so that it will
forward the mail from fred@??? to fred@???
If I connect to the machine and say
helo <whatever>
mail from: fred@???
rcpt to: <anybody>
data
...
. (end)
then it says
"451 rejected: temporarily unable to verify sender address (try again later)
<fred@???>"
I tried adding something.net into the local_domains to see if this would fix
the problem, and saw
"550 rejected: unknown local-part in sender <fred@???>"
Is this a bug, a feature, or have I missed something out to do this?
I know that the domain <something.net> is truly valid, and the primary
is authoritave, and that the exim host has a working resolver and
everything looks all fine and dandy.
If I remove "sender_verify" and "sender_verify_fixup" from the configure,
then the forwarding works.
JohnH, a contributor here saw my use of the rewrite rules to do aliasing,
which I admit it a bit of a kluge... I only two different types of rules like:
*@fred.net $1@???
*@bert.net al@???
so maybe this would solve my problem.
thanks!
