Thanks for that. However, I think this doesn't arrange for the right
messages to be batched together. To clarify, for example, I might
have
fluffy.clouds.net } batch delivery together as user `clouds',
thunder.clouds.net } to /var/spool/bsmtp/clouds
salt.tastes.org } batch delivery together as user `tastes',
sour.tastes.org } to /var/spool/bsmtp/tastes
So I want a message sent to fred@???, joe@??? and
postmaster@??? to be delivered twice - once in one BSMTP to
clouds with both clouds recipients, and once for postmaster@sour.
I could do something like this
handling_tra:
driver=appendfile
domains=HANDLING_DOMAINS
directory=${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/mail/handling-dirs}{$value}fail}
bsmtp=all
user=${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/mail/handling-users}{$value}fail}
initgroups
but what would the batching be ? Surely the different values for
$domain would cause the messages to be split up before it noticed that
the results of the lookups were the same ?
I suppose I could use the smartuser director to rewrite the address to
<original_local_part>.<host>@<domain>.special-thing-tld
and then use bsmtp for that somehow, using a rewrite rule to put it
back as the envelope is written to the bsmtp file. Is that likely to
work ?
Ian.
