Betreff: [Exim] replacement for smail's pathalias driver
I searched the archives for the answer to my question and came up with a
thread from Nov 1997 which didn't really answer my question, so I thought
I'd try the list directly.

We are in the process of looking for a replacement for our smail
installation for performance reasons. We have been using smail for a long
time and have some custome installations which are closely tied to smail's
functionality. My job is to evaluate various mailers for performance and
also to make sure that we can port our applications to it. Exim is in the
lead, as I have been able to port almost everything to it. However, there
is still one thing I can't implement.

Here's the short version:

I need a router that can both rewrite the envelope-to domain of the email
and also explicitly direct to a specific server (ignoring MX records and
whatnot). under smail we were able to do this with the pathalias driver.
I have investigated all of the drivers in exim and the closest I can find
is the domainlist driver, but as far as I can tell it will either do one
or the other, but not both. Am I missing something? Is there a more
complicated way to do this that I am not thinking of?

Before anyone asks why, the application is security related, and therefore
we can't us DNS published routing. The domain rewriting is necessary to
force mail routing in some instances.

Thanks for any help.
