I have searched google .. read the FAQ's and the archives and I still can't figure out how to use mysql with exim.
This is what I have done:
Compiled exim with mysql support
Created a mysql database:
Mysql database:exim
Mysql table: user (fields: userid, user, mailaddress, mailboxpath, homedir, domain, localonly) mailaddress = user@domain
domain (field: domain)
userid is the localuser account
user is the users initials
This is what I need to do:
1. If a localonly user from a virtual domain tries to send to nonlocal users the mail should bounce other users should be able to send to nonlocal users
2. mail to nonexisient users should bounce
3. mail to virtual users should be delivered to mailboxpath
This is what I have tried:
configure script:
... snip
mysql_servers = localhost/exim/user/root/password
mysql_domain = select domain from user where mailaddress='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'
mysql_mailbox = select domain from user where mailaddress='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'
mysql_user = select userid from user where mailaddress='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'
.. snip
begin routers
.. snip
virtual_local_user:
driver = accept
domains = ${lookup mysql {mysql_domain}{$vaule}}
condition = ${lookup mysql {mysql_user}{$vaule}}
transport = virtual_delivery
localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
transport = local_delivery
begin transports
.. snip
virtual_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = ${lookup mysql {mysql_mailbox}{$value}}
delivery_date_add
envelope_add
return_path_add
user = mail
group = mail
create_directory
.. snip
-- EOF
When I try to test the setup with
---
>exim -v postmaster@??? -d 2> debug.log
From: postmaster@???
To: post@???
Subject: test
test
^D
------
I get this in the debug.log file:
LOG: MAIN
<= root @local.domain <
mailto:root@local.domain> U=root P=local S=280
LOG: MAIN PANIC
failed to expand "${lookup mysql {select domain from user where mailaddress='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'}{$vaule}}" while checking a list: lookup of "select domain from user where mailadress = '-d@???'" gave DEFER: unexpected slash in MySQL server hostname: localhost/exim
.. snip
Well .. I'm starting to PANIC as well ;-)
I would be nice if someone could write a tutorial for us newbies on how to make MySQL work with exim.
Cheers,
Flemming
