All,
I recently replaced sendmail with Exim, and I love its flexibility. I do
have a question about aliasing though.
I host a number of virtual domains. For example, metainc.com. Now, what
I'd like is for mail to selected recipients to metainc.com to be forwarded
to other addresses. bob@??? would go to bob@???, for
instance. wrongaddress@??? would be bounced (for now; perhaps in
the future the customer will want all mail). Here's what I've set up to
handle this:
virtual_specific:
driver = smartuser
new_director = system_aliases
domains = "lsearch;/etc/aliases.virtual"
new_address = ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/etc/aliases.virtual}
{$value} fail}
virtual_default:
driver = smartuser
new_director = system_aliases
domains = "lsearch;/etc/aliases.virtual"
new_address = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/aliases.virtual} {$value}
fail}
The aliases.virtual file contains lines like:
metainc.com: /dev/null
bob@???: bob@???
adam@???: adam@???
These are my first two directors. If I leave the metainc.com part out,
this doesn't work at all. Mail to adam goes to my LOCAL address and not
to the otherdomain.com address. I'm not sure why.
The question I have is, how do I specify the metainc.com alias so that
mail to someone other than those listed is bounced as not found instead of
simply banished to /dev/null?
Adam
