Hi all, seasons greetings from New Zealand
I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction here.
I've read the docs and faqs but I'm still concerned I might go off on
the wrong tangent or miss something obvious.
A friend and I are setting up a specialised email service. I have a
Linux machine with a permanent internet connection which will send and
receive mail to the world with smtp. My 'local' users will nearly all
communicate with this machine via uucp. I have a domain for this
machine. Dns is elsewhere with an MX record pointing to this machine.
The other uucp hosts have only a few users, many will only have one.
The other uucp machines are on 'islands' (sort of). The end users
don't really care what their email address is.
My thoughts are to have email addresses such as:
user1.island1@???
user2.island1@???
user1.island2@???
etc
Rather than:
user1@???
kind of thing.
I figure that this means I only have to play with one domain and
avoids me needing to maintain my own dns.
I haven't been able to figure out what is the best way to get Exim to
deliver to a different file or pipe command based on the part of the
local address after the dot. Any suggestions on this or the overall
way I am doing it would be appreciated. Linux / Exim / uucp are all
new to me so ... its a bit of a learning curve. I have Exim
successfully built and running.
Regards
Ross
