Tárgy: RE: [Exim] Emulate Sendmails Virtual Domain
Hi

Re the virtual Domains, I want lets say the webmaster user form one user to
get forwarded to another Email address, and the same for another domain to
get delivered to a local user.

EG
webmaster@???:    gdm
webaster@???:    gordon@???


Catchall - I mean, if the address before the @ sign is wrong it gets
delivered to root or postmaster.

Gordon

Using rewriting for routing is a Sendmail paradigm. It is not Exim's
way.

I don't know how Sendmail does virtual domains, not having been near it
for a decade, but the usual way to do them in Exim is by alias lists.
There are examples in the manual and in the sample configurations.
Typically, for each virtual domain, you have a file with a list of local
parts in that domain and the real addresses to send messages on to.

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean "if unknown local part, deliver to
this address AND send a message to sender"? That can be done using an
autoreply transport with "unseen", or a filter can be used.
