I have exim 4.10 running on Solaris 8 and am trying to configure
it in the following way.
Server A (exim MTA) Server B (UNIX mail host) and Server C
(Lotus Notes).
I want to set up Server A as my main MTA, receiving and
transmitting mail from and to the outside world. Server A should
then route to Server B for any UNIX local mailboxes, and Server C
for other local mailboxes. We have one domain xxx.xxx.com.
The problem is if I do not have a hub_route, in my routers of my
configure file, pointing to Server C. I can not get any mail
over to Server C. It will think that the users are local on my
UNIX server. Now the ones that do have a local UNIX account will
receive mail fine and send fine. The users that do not have a
local UNIX account, just an alias in NIS pointing to user@Server
C it gets bounced back saying user unknown.
I add this hub_route in my configure file and it finds Server C
and
delivers to the users Lotus Notes mail box. Now the local UNIX box
does not seem to receive any mail. The reason is all users here
have a mailbox on Server C, however not all have local UNIX mail
accounts.
So in essence the users that have a local UNIX mail account also
has a Lotus Notes mail account.
My question; is there any way to set the local_delivery transport
to parse this local mail and send it to the correct prospective
servers? How will I go about setting this feature up?
Would I need an if statement for it to work? Can I do this through my
hub_route router?
Please help
Thank you and good day.
