Not sure that this is what you want, but in our case for an 'unknown' user
we run a smartuser director specifying the transport. The transport has a
(perl) filter on it which 'creates' the error message sent back.
The director is:
unknownuser:
no_expn
no_verify
domains = PLYMOUTH
driver = smartuser
transport = unknown_user
The transport is:
unknown_user:
driver = pipe
command = TABLES/messages/unknown-user.pl "$local_part" "$return_path"
return_fail_output
log_fail_output
prefix =
timeout = 10m
user = exim
Altenatively don't specify anything and exim will automatically send an
error message back (again stating that it is an 'unknown' user).
