We have a system here at work which is connected to the organization's
intranet, but which also has a dialup connection to an ISP. We have
uucp and ppp connections to the ISP. At that ISP, we have a hostname,
i.e. to anyuser@??? is put in the uucp queue. So far so
good.
This system will also generate mail to users on the internal network.
So, anything that is sent to a recipient in the ah.nl is to be sent to
the internal central smarthost. Also not a problem.
Now the hard part: I want mail that is sent to recipients in the ah.nl
domain to have as sender user@???, and mail that is
destined to go outside the organization to have as send
user@???. I thought this might be done with rewriting
rules and matching against $header_to, but the rewriting rules don't
seem to allow ${if ..} etc. Specifically, the following fails:
.*@wau.mis.ah.nl ${if match {$header_to} {@.*.ah.nl$} {$1@???} {$1@???} } EFf
The complaint is:
unknown rewrite flag character (m) in line 342
which I've narrowed down to being the first 'm' in "match"...
Any suggestions?
Another thing, while I have your attention: the welcome banner:
220 janux.wau.mis.ah.nl ESMTP Exim 1.92 #1 Tue, 26 May 1998 18:05:58 +0200
The hostname shown there is always the hostname corresponding to the IP
address on the primary interface; it should be the hostname that is
found by doing a gethostbyaddr() with the address on which the
connection is made. I found that exim will reject mail to the hostname
that corresponds to the other interface, even when that is the interface
on which the connection is made! I got bitten by this at home where I
have a 192.168. local ether network with a fantasy hostname, and a
dialup PPP connection to the internet with a fixed IP address and
hostname. I fixed this by putting my PPP hostname as primary_hostname
into the configuration file.
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
