As you can tell I am new setting up a mail server -- this is only for local users on my private network thankfully. So - flatfile should be fine - this is a small place 20 users or so. POP access - I am running teapop at the moment and it works fine - - I have it recognizing my domain names and users and it looks for a mailbox in the directory: /mail/domain.com/user_name. (I copied a mailbox with a message in it to this folder and was able to pull it in through oulook on my PC.
I need to route mail like so:
PC sends message to user_at_localdomain.com
exim looks up user_at_localdomain.com in /etc/exim/domain_aliases file (specified in a director)
alias says user_at_localdomain.com has mailbox domaincom_user
exim routes message to /mail/domain.com/domaincom_user <-- where this is a mailbox
--OR--
alias says user_at_localdomain.com has maildir /mail/domain.com/user/
exim routes message to /mail/domain.com/user/ <-- where this is a maildir
Now am I wrong in understanding the way this works
