Hi,
i used exim 3.x with xams, and some weeks ago i moved to 4.x and i'm
impressed, but there is one thing that i don't liked. In exim3.x we
could set the users home_directory with a trick, so it was possible to
use something like
save .Exim/
in your filterfile, and the mail was saved to a directory under the
"virtual-home-directory" of our user. This trick does not work anymore
for exim4, and i switched to use full-paths instead (but i don't liked it).
Some days ago i read a thread about someone who had the same problems
than me, and so i thought, there must be a way to fix it, and there is one.
My pmail_forward router now looks like this:
pmail_forward:
driver = redirect
allow_filter
check_ancestor
no_check_local_user
no_expn
require_files = "USERHOME/$local_part.filt"
data = ${sg {${readfile{USERHOME/$local_part.filt}}} \
{save\\s+([^/].*)\\s*}{save USERHOME/$local_part/\$1\\n}}
file_transport = pmail_delivery
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
directory_transport = pmail_delivery
retry_use_local_part
user = mail
no_verify
USERHOME is a macro that looks up the "home directory" of our virtual user,
My one:
USERHOME = /var/imap/${lookup mysql{SELECT s.Name FROM pm_domains d,
pm_sites s, pm_users u WHERE s.ID = d.SiteID AND d
.Name = '$domain' and u.Name = '$local_part' and u.SiteID = s.ID AND
s.SiteState != 'locked_bounce' AND u.AccountState
!= 'locked_bounce'}{${value}}}/
The trick is, we read the whole filterfile, and "preprocess", by using
${sg} we search for save (RELATIVE-PATH) and replace it with save
USERHOME/RELATIVE-PATH
This one works for me, i would be glad if someone with the same problem
could test this solution and give some response.
ciao

P.S. Thanks to PH for this GREAT MTA, IMHO it's the most powerful one i
ever used, and it makes most impossible things possible.
