Thanks for your replys.
I finally solved the problem using this rule:
*@myisp.com "${if eq $sender_host_address}{}\
{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail}}fail}" Eh
In /etc/email-addresses I have root: jdegreef@??? (I could have put
this immediatly in the rule but it's more flexible like that and I learned
how to use a file in a rule ;) )
Reading the doc I understood that $sender_host_address is only filled when
mail are non local (if I'm right) so I shouldn't have problem if the real
root@??? send me a mail. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW, I have a last question: I'm not sure if I have to put fail twice in the
rule above...
Jerome
