Hello all,
I've done my best given my resources. I've read, reread, and
rereread the specs, FAQs, and example configs. I'm 99.9% complete
with my virtual domain config, and I've been operating with this
config for some time...but I'm trying to clean up one last problem.
Here's the basics
/net/exim/domains/DOMAINS
lsearch flatfile containing domain names and the
respective file that houses their aliases
/net/exim/domains/GLOBAL
lsearch flatfile containing global aliases that
short-circuit domain-level aliases. postmaster,
root, abuse, et cetera go in here.
/net/exim/domains/domain1.com
/net/exim/domains/domain2.net
/net/exim/domains/domain3.org
lsearch flatfiles containing individual aliases for
the various domains. oftentimes, one local user has
accounts in each vdom, leading to prefixed domain
hints: joe@??? -> blow-joe
Then I have the following directors:
#
# Handle all system-wide and virtual-domain-wide aliases. (root,
# abuse, etc)
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /net/exim/domains/GLOBAL
include_domain = false
search_type = lsearch
suffix = +*
suffix_optional = true
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
new_director = userforward
no_verify
no_expn
#
# Handle all other virtual-domain mail.
virtual:
domains = partial-lsearch;/net/exim/domains/DOMAINS
driver = aliasfile
file = /net/exim/domains/$domain_data
include_domain = false
search_type = lsearch*
suffix = +*
suffix_optional = true
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
new_director = userforward
check_ancestor
no_more
no_verify
no_expn
#
# Handle local deliveries with forward files.
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
file = .exim
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
prefix = *-
prefix_optional = true
suffix = +*
suffix_optional = true
filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
And this works like gang-busters for me... All GLOBALS
short-circuit domain level, and the domains map by prefixing a
domain hint to a local user.
joe@??? -> blow-joe
kirk@??? -> enter-joe
joe@??? -> smock-joe
My problem enters when I try to implement suffixes. I would like to
have the suffixes fall-through the directors and thus fall-through
the lookups. For example, right now:
joe+argument@??? -> blow-joe
when ultimately, I'd like to have it be:
joe+argument@??? -> blow-joe+argument
so that when it reaches the forwardfile director, the forwardfile
gets "blow-" and "+argument" as prefix and suffix respectively, so
joe can both sort by domain hint as well as argument.
Is this at all possible? Or do I need to re-engineer my design?
I'm not against re-engineering...I just would like to get it all
working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Jason
