Solaris 8
Exim 3.32
Hope I can explain this right...
Example of the problem.
Remote box, located on the other side of the country. There is a
local administrator that deal with very basic administraton and a
remote administrator who has real SA abilities.
root Is only used on the console by the local administrator.
He can change the root password when necessary etc.
admin Remote user. Logs in as admin and then su's to a special
account, adminr for full root level access which is what
99% of the tasks are done as while he is on.
adminr Remote users account with UID=0
The remote admin uses a generic email address admin@???
which the MUA on the box forces when he sends email.
Exim is it proper operation, sees that adminr = root and sets the
envelope of the outgoing message to root even though the From:
address is admin@???.
Many MTA's reject this mail as they don't take email from root.
Question... Is it possible to change Exim's configuration so that IF
the outgoing mail is from adminr, it uses either adminr or the From:
address as the envelope.
If it is simple... great. If it is a big deal... I won't bother.
Hope that made sense...
