Just to let you know:
I used the great patch from Jeremy and everything works
like I wanted:
- exim dumps mail from virtual domains in /var/spool/virtual/domain.sample
- the popper accepts logins like tux@??? (@ can be !, : or ;)
- the password files are in /etc/virtual/domain.sample/passwd
- the aliases files are in /etc/virtual/domain.sample/aliases
I had two minor bumbs in the road:
- the popper had PAM enabled by default, just disable it if you don't
use PAM. (Jeremy: its off topic, but maybe a remark on your page?)
- exim pukes on file mode 0664 (should not contain 0020), just do
a chmod go-w /etc/virtual/domain.sample/* and off you go!
In short: It works great, thanks Jeremy!
Regards,
Onno
