Subject: [Exim] "circular" aliases problem(?)
hi,

i think i'm having some misunderstanding here. i have two existing
user accounts, "checkin" and "airport", and need to set up aliases in
a way that when either of them receives a mail, the other receives it,
too. so, obviously, two entries in the aliasfile:

    airport:    checkin, airport
    checkin:    airport, checkin


yep, i know exim doesn't deliver the same message twice to the same
recipient, that's what i based the above setup on.


lionking:~$ exim -d0 -b checkin
checkin@???
    <-- checkin@???
  deliver to checkin in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
airport@???
    <-- airport@???
    <-- checkin@???
  deliver to airport in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
checkin@???
    <-- airport@???
    <-- checkin@???
  deliver to checkin in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
lionking:~$ exim -d0 -bt airport
airport@???
    <-- airport@???
  deliver to airport in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
checkin@???
    <-- checkin@???
    <-- airport@???
  deliver to checkin in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
airport@???
    <-- checkin@???
    <-- airport@???
  deliver to airport in domain hertz.hu
  director = localuser, transport = local_delivery



(higher debug levels don't reveal anything more ?).

and, of course, the same mail only arrives once to each recipient. is
there a "special eye" needed to read address test outputs, or am i
missing something ?

that's 3.33.

thanks,
