I know that :-) but it's not that simple. This doesn't work:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This allows local delivery to be forced, avoiding alias files and
# forwarding.
real_local:
prefix = real-
driver = localuser
transport = local_delivery
# This director handles aliasing using a traditional /etc/aliases file.
# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary.
system_aliases:
user=mail
group=mail
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch
# If an alias file can't be loaded, we defer, not freeze -- Marc
freeze_missing_include = false
# This allows local delivery to be forced, avoiding alias files and
# forwarding.
noforward_local:
prefix = noforward-
driver = localuser
transport = local_delivery
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
no_verify
check_ancestor
# Not specifying the directory forces exim to do a stat on $home first, and
# defer if NFS is hosed
file = .forward
modemask = 002
filter
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason is doesn't work is that system_aliases won't work if I lookup
noforward-somealias, it won't work match in system_aliases
I could add a forward_aliases director with a prefix of noforward-, but once
noforward-alias is turned into login, I have login and not noforward-login,
so the userforward then kicks in...
It probably is doable, but I don't know exim well enough to pull it off yet :-)
