(Sorry if you get this twice, I already sent this message yesterday
but I did not see it on the list).
Hello,
Newbie question (I looked through the manual and the draft-chapters of
the to-be book posted here).
Basically, I want local_users, list_users, majordomo_users, ... in
separate aliases tables. They will be called
/usr/exim/cfg/local-aliases
/usr/exim/cfg/list-aliases
/usr/exim/cfg/majordomo-aliases
etc
For instance, in local_aliases file, I have entries like these (just as tests):
exim: exim@???
ex.im: exim
exim.exim: exim
exim.mail-manager: exim
The file local-domains contains (for the moment) just one entry:
exim.switch.ch
In the configure file, I have defined:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/spool/exim/mail/${local_part}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = staff
user = ${local_part}
mode = 0600
local_user:
driver = aliasfile
file = /usr/exim/cfg/local-aliases
search_type = lsearch
rewrite = true
transport = local_delivery
(although rewrite = true is superfluous). I'm expecting, when sending
a mail to, for instance, ex.im@???, the address to be
aliased to exim@??? and to be deliverd locally to the exim
mailbox on /var/spool/exim/mail/exim. However, despite matching the ex.im
key in the local-aliases file, the mail is nonetheless delivered to
ex.im@???. Probably I'm missing something elementary, but
I can't find it. And yes, for the moment we are running pp...
Thank you for any help !! Below is the output (debug level 10) of an
example.
