Scenario:
Incoming mail addressed to User.Name@??? to be delivered to
ID@???
Outgoing mail from ID@??? to have headers re-written
so that mail appears to come from User.Name@???
Here's the director:
research:
driver = aliasfile
# >> Option added by convert4r3
file_transport = address_file
# >> Option added by convert4r3
pipe_transport = address_pipe
domains = research.uce.ac.uk
no_more
file = /usr/exim/db/research.aliases
search_type = dbm
where "research.aliases" contains records such as
User.Name: ID@???
I have the following header re-writing rules:
*@research.uce.ac.uk
${lookup{${lc:$1}}dbm{/usr/exim/db/research.aliases}\
{$value}fail}@??? bcrt
*@research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
${lookup{${lc:$1}}dbm{/usr/exim/db/rresearch.aliases}\
{$value}fail}@??? bcfrF
where "rresearch.aliases" has the reverse mapping:
ID: User.Name
Test of incoming rewriting (User.Name@??? to
ID@??? ) yields this:
# exim -d6 -bt User.Name@???
Exim version 3.12 debug level 6 uid=0 gid=1
probably ndbm
Caller is an admin user
Caller is a trusted user
user name "System Admin" extracted from gecos field "System Admin"
.
.
*snip various lines of the form "User.Name@??? in
*@some.domain.uce.ac.uk? no (end of list)"*
.
research director: dbm key=user.name
file="/usr/exim/db/research.aliases"
.
.
*snip various lines of the form "ID@??? in
*@some.domain.uce.ac.uk? no (end of list)"*
.
.
research director generated ID@???
errors_to=NULL transport=NULL
uid=unset gid=unset home=NULL
research director succeeded for user.name
hcol_route router called for ID@???
route_domain = research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
hcol_route router failed
hcol_ex_route router called for ID@???
route_domain = research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
hcol_ex_route router failed
exchange_route router called for ID@???
route_domain = research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
exchange_route router failed
uce_route router called for ID@???
route_domain = research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
uce_route router: lsearch key=research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
file="/usr/exim/tables/uce_routes"
routed by uce_route router:
deliver to ID@???
transport: UCE_smtp
host exchange2.uce.ac.uk [193.60.140.216] MX=10
host exchange3.uce.ac.uk [193.60.140.4] MX=20
ID@???
<-- User.Name@???
deliver to ID@???
router = uce_route, transport = UCE_smtp
host exchange2.uce.ac.uk [193.60.140.216] MX=10
host exchange3.uce.ac.uk [193.60.140.4] MX=20
Outgoing re-write yields this:
# exim -bvs ID@???
Address rewritten as: User.Name@???
User.Name@??? verified
The above tests, to me, indicate that the directing/routing and header
re-writing are working, BUT...
I get the following appear in main and panic logs:
2000-06-19 13:08:15 1340Lf-0004jL-00 Rewrite of User.Name@???
yielded unparseable address: malformed address: @research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
may not follow ID@??? in address
ID@???@research.exchange.uce.ac.uk
Any ideas folks? I can't see the wood for the trees here.
