Hi all,
i was wondering how it is possible to add support for a virtusertable in
exim (ie one with the same functionality as sendmail's virtusertable).
What i need is mapping a user at a virtual domain to a localuser at my
domain.
ie, this is the format for sendmail:
<<
fred@??? arbusername1
bob@??? arbusername2
foo.com foo.default.mbox
narf@??? arbusername3
poit@??? arbusername4
bar.com bar.default.mbox
>>
Now, i can implement the examples with mail being mapped to the
arbusernames, its just when i try to set up a default mailbox for a
domain. My configure file currently looks like this:
<<
#Transport:
virtual_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts = ${lookup{$domain}dbm{/etc/exim/mailertable}{$value}fail}
#Director:
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/local_domains
transport = virtual_smtp
no_more
file = /etc/exim/mailertable
include_domain
search_type = dbm
>>
So, i have a file in /etc/exim/ called mailertable which is a dbm file
(built with exim_dbmbuild), and another called local_domains (domains
which we accet mail for).
I have tried altering the search_type directive to:
search_type = dbm*@
which mentioned that it will search the dbm file, look for *@domain, if *
is not set (ie, if mail is sent to fred@???, * will find fred@???
if it is in the mailertable dbm file. If it does not find fred@??? it
will send to the foo.default.mbox because there is not match - hope that
makes sense ;)
exim paniced and threw me out. I tried adding a query directive, but i
could not find a valid optionin the documentation ( all there was was
nisplus, ldap, dnsdb, testdb ), none of which seem to apply here (of
course, i am dying to stand corected ;)
Please, if anyone could give me some information, or point me i the
direction of some documentation that will explain how to set this up like
this, i would be very grateful (please bear in mind that i have gone over
exim's documentation pretty thoroughly. I obviously am missing something
;) Again, any help would be apreciated.
ALSO! a quick question..
I am setting up Exim to replace sendmail on our existing mailserver. We
deal with about 250 simultaneous requests in the afternoon (not too sure
about the evening, not sure i want to know). Does anyone know how many
simultaneous request Exim can handle at once (not what i set it up as in
the config, but what it is capable of...)
thanks again
