Thanks Philip,
I saw that in the book, on page 539 (on the topic
of "expansion variables") there is a disclaimer regarding the
$domain variable. I don't quite understand it though. It reads:
"... if all the addresses that are being handled simultaneously
contain the same domain, it is placed in $domain. Otherwise
this variable is empty during delivery."
I am not sure if that means it is risky for me to rewrite quoted
addresses using $domain (eg my goal is to change
"relay@??? into relay@???@uleth.ca
before attempting delivery. Can you give me an example of
when "all the addresses being handled simultaneously" do *not*
contain the same domain? ie if someone sent mail to
savoy@???,savoy@??? (another site we host)
would both be rewritten as savoy@????
- jim -
PS Pardon my ignorance - I am just learning how exim works
(and really don't know much about how mail works either!).
I am just trying to block orbz, while keeping our site safe
from errant rewrites and filtering.
