Subject: [Exim] Virtual Domains
I'm using exim and love it so far. But I want to use it on another
site that currently has virtual domains. I looked in the manual and
all I see is references to virtual aliases. That's the easy part.

I also need other features, virtual real mailboxes, virtual users,
etc. I am currently using sendmail with Linuxconf which supplies a
program called vdeliver. What I want to do is duplicate the
functionality of vdeliver or interface to vdeliver. Anyhow - here's
the rules that vdeliver uses. And - ipop3d uses these same locations
and rules.

Virtual mail directories:

/var/spool/vhome/$domain/$local_part

Virtual Aliases:

/etc/vmail/aliases.$domain

Virtual passwd and shadow files (same format as passwd and shadow):

/etc/vmail/passwd.$domain
/etc/vmail/shadow.$domain

Virtual home Directories:

/vhome/$domain/home/$local_part

Anyhow - it would be very handy if Exim could support this format. It
would instantly be compatible with Linuxconf, ipop3d, and vdeliver.
And I think those of you who are sharper at this than I am could make
this happen without a lot of effort, and save yourself work in the
process. Anyone interested?
