Hey all!
I hope I'm not getting to confusing here, and hope someone can help ;) ...
I scripted together a small config with 2 versions of Exim (both 3.22) and a
perl script, that is supposed to do the following:
- Exim #1 receives mail for foo.com and saves it in bsmtp format (in ie.
/var/spool/bsmtp/foo.com/new/<one file per mail>)
- Exim #2 is listening on a different interface and executes the perl
script, once a user has authenticated and issued an "ETRN"
The Perl script then creates a tmp configure file, in which:
- a router (bsmtp_router) is configured with
"route_list = * <host which authenticated>"
--> causes all mails (which use this tmp config) to be routed to a special
host
- the corresponding (smtp)transport has included
"fallback_hosts = mail.isp.com"
--> in case the client disconnects while exim tries to deliver the mail...
the, the perl script feeds all waiting messages back into exim using:
exim -C <tmp config> -bS
"Basically" everything works... ;)
Someone using Exchange 2000 (uarg) connected, authenticated, issued ETRN,
the perl script created the tmp config and kicked all the mails into exim (~
60 mails)...
exim delivered 10 mails to the client host, after that, all mails have been
delivered to the fallback_host...
anyone has any ideas?
thanks for any hints...
