Mmm'kay
So my problem is that if a machine sends Email to root, I want it to be
qualified as root@???, _and_ I don't want to hardcode
that machine name anywhere in exim.conf since it's rsynced to many machines,
I just leave qualify_domain commented out.
However, I then need to rewrite stuff as such:
*@${primary_hostname} ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/mail/localadds}{$1@???}fail} T
*@${primary_hostname} $1@??? hE
*@in.limbo $1@${primary_hostname} T
If instead, I do:
qualify_domain = valinux.com
*@valinux.com ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/mail/localadds}{$1@${qualify_domain}}fail} T
The problem is that mail that was actually going to root@??? gets
rewritten to be delivered locally.
So what are my options?
I can write some scripts that modify exim.conf on each machine and change
the hardcoded hostname, but that's something I'd like to avoid.
Thanks,
Marc
