Temat: [Exim] exim and postgresql
Hi there,
maybe my question is near to be a FAQ, but I did not find any solution on
google, so I ask to you. I have compiled exim with postgresql support and
made a debian package (if you need it I can send it). Now, trying to make it
works, I have this error:

2001-07-04 10:24:19 15HhxJ-0001Lq-00 == pippo@???
T=virtual_localdelivery defer (-1): Expansion of
"/var/spool/mail/${username}" (file or directory name for
virtual_localdelivery transport) failed: unknown variable in "${username}"

the user pippo is in the database, in a table schema I took on
groups.google.com, adding a field uid. I suppose the error can be solved
using a line
user = ${variable with the uid from db}
but I'm not able to access to data extract from db, neither username,
neither uid (user 'pippo' is not in the passwd).
Here is what I changed in exim.conf:

...
pgsql_servers = localhost/db/user/pwd
...
virtual_localdelivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
envelope_to_add = true
#file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
file = /var/spool/mail/${username}
...
virtual_localuser:
driver = aliasfile
transport = virtual_localdelivery
# a list of domains you do email for, simular to sendmail.cw
#domains = lsearch;/mail/conf/domains
search_type = pgsql
query = "select username from exim where username='$local_part' and
domain='$domain'"

how can I access data from db query ?

Or is all wrong what I did ?
