I think what he's trying to do is integrate it into a virtual domain
database lookup. The easiest way I've found to do this (from an idea
off the list, backed up with some horrible scripts.) is to use two
directors.
The first handles the direct address mappings,
ie
aliases.lspace.org holds things like
hamster -> hamster@???
foobar -> foobar3@isp
aliases.wibble.org
hamster -> hamster@???
--[ config fragment ]--
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
domains = dbm;/usr/exim/virtual/db/domain_list.db
file = /usr/exim/virtual/db/dom_src.$domain.db
search_type = dbm
--[ config fragment ]--
The second handles anything that falls through the first (ie anything
where there isn't a default.
In my case I've built it into the db file as
LibraryDefault@domain -> default address
but the localpart could be anything unique which isn't going to be
used as an address at the domain.
--[ config fragment ]--
virt_default:
driver = smartuser
domains = dbm;/usr/exim/virtual/db/domain_list.db
no_more
new_address = "${lookup{LibraryDefault@$domain}
lsearch{/usr/exim/virtual/db/default}{$value}fail}
--[ config fragment ]--
The db files are built using a nasty bit of perl to parse the domain
db files into a alias file for each domain and a entry in the global
domain file. A default entry is only generated if there's a @ or
@subdomain. entry.
Anyway enough of my rambling, a tarball of my config is availible on
request, should anyone be insane enough to want to look at it ;)
