This question is related to my current autoresponder work in progress.
I am moving to my own domain, as you might have noticed from my From:
header changing in January. Old E-Mail Addresses are being phased out
by being forwarded to new addresses in my own domain. On some of the
old accounts, exim is used too. I have .forward files there to do the
forwarding.
However, in my autoresponse, I'd like to have the original address the
e-mail was sent to mentioned in the body. In the case where exim does
the forwarding, the original envelope is only preserved in the remote
exim's Received: headers. Pulling these out in the autoresponding
.forward file on my MX would be a major pain, I suppose.
Is there a way to have that solved without having root on the remote
exim, or is this a first application for a perl function in the user
filter?
Greetings
Marc
