In that case make sure that exim is writing the Return-Path: and
Envelope-To: headers, then write a small perl script which:-
- connects to the SMTP or BSMTP server - ie open "|/usr/sbin/exim -bS"
- opens the maildir file
- reads the first couple of lines (ie envelope-to & return-path)
- writes "MAIL FROM <contents of return-path>"
- writes "RCPT TO <contents of envelope-to>"
- writes "DATA"
- shoves message data down pipe
- finishes up
You probably want a couple of wrinkles - most of that should be in a
per file loop, and you want to check for lines starting with "." and
double them.
