Subject: [Exim] Question regarding pipe config
I'm having trouble to configure Exim 4.10 to use pipe driver.
I would like to send whole message to the script through pipe.

Please let me know if somebody already configured Exim in right way.

tia,

Ganbold Ts.


Following is my Exim configuration:

######################################################################

######################################################################
#                    MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS                     #
######################################################################


# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.

# primary_hostname =
primary_hostname = virtual.ub.mng.net

# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
# are all colon-separated lists:

#domainlist local_domains = @
domainlist relay_to_domains =

#domainlist relay_to_domains = "localhost:mysql;SELECT name FROM host WHERE name='$domain'"
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

# Virtual Domain support /Corporate mail/
domainlist local_domains = "localhost:mysql;SELECT name FROM host WHERE name='$domain'"

# All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
# manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control list for
# incoming messages. The name of this ACL is defined here:

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt

# You should not change that setting until you understand how ACLs work.


# No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
# separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic error to be logged, and
# the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic safety catch. Note that the
# default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root as if it
# were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias
# for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

exim_user = mailnull
exim_group = mail
#never_users = root


# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
# IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
# expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or
# remove the setting entirely.

host_lookup = *


# The settings below, which are actually the same as the defaults in the
# code, cause Exim to make RFC 1413 (ident) callbacks for all incoming SMTP
# calls. You can limit the hosts to which these calls are made, and/or change
# the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls
# are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can provide useful information
# for tracing problem messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems
# with them. This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused
# connection, leading to delays on starting up an SMTP session.

rfc1413_hosts = *
rfc1413_query_timeout = 30s



# When Exim can neither deliver a message nor return it to sender, it "freezes"
# the delivery error message (aka "bounce message"). There are also other
# circumstances in which messages get frozen. They will stay on the queue for
# ever unless one of the following options is set.

# This option unfreezes frozen bounce messages after two days, tries
# once more to deliver them, and ignores any delivery failures.

ignore_bounce_errors_after = 2d

# This option cancels (removes) frozen messages that are older than a week.

timeout_frozen_after = 7d

# Deny if the local part contains @ or % or / or | or !. These are rarely
# found in genuine local parts, but are often tried by people looking to
# circumvent relaying restrictions.

# Also deny if the local part starts with a dot. Empty components aren't
# strictly legal in RFC 2822, but Exim allows them because this is common.
# However, actually starting with a dot may cause trouble if the local part
# is used as a file name (e.g. for a mailing list).

  deny    local_parts   = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.


# Accept mail to postmaster in any local domain, regardless of the source,

  # There are no checks on DNS "black" lists because the domains that contain
  # these lists are changing all the time. However, here are two examples of
  # how you could get Exim to perform a DNS black list lookup at this point.
  # The first one denies, while the second just warns.

  #############################################################################


# Accept if the address is in a local domain, but only if the recipient can
# be verified. Otherwise deny. The "endpass" line is the border between
# passing on to the next ACL statement (if tests above it fail) or denying
# access (if tests below it fail).

  accept  domains       = +local_domains

# If control reaches this point, the domain is neither in +local_domains
# nor in +relay_to_domains.

# Accept if the message comes from one of the hosts for which we are an
# outgoing relay. Recipient verification is omitted here, because in many
# cases the clients are dumb MUAs that don't cope well with SMTP error
# responses. If you are actually relaying out from MTAs, you should probably
# add recipient verification here.

  accept  hosts         = +relay_from_hosts


# Accept if the message arrived over an authenticated connection, from
# any host. Again, these messages are usually from MUAs, so recipient
# verification is omitted.

accept authenticated = *

# Reaching the end of the ACL causes a "deny", but we might as well give
# an explicit message.

######################################################################


begin routers

# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP by explicit IP address,
# when an email address is given in "domain literal" form, for example,
# <user@???>. The RFCs require this facility. However, it is
# little-known these days, and has been exploited by evil people seeking
# to abuse SMTP relays. Consequently it is commented out in the default
# configuration. If you uncomment this router, you also need to uncomment
# allow_domain_literals above, so that Exim can recognize the syntax of
# domain literal addresses.

# domain_literal:
# driver = ipliteral
# domains = ! +local_domains
# transport = remote_smtp


# This router routes addresses that are not in local domains by doing a DNS
# lookup on the domain name. Any domain that resolves to 0.0.0.0 or to a
# loopback interface address (127.0.0.0/8) is treated as if it had no DNS
# entry. Note that 0.0.0.0 is the same as 0.0.0.0/32, which is commonly treated
# as the local host inside the network stack. It is not 0.0.0.0/0, the default
# route. If the DNS lookup fails, no further routers are tried because of
# the no_more setting, and consequently the address is unrouteable.

dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more


# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s).


# This router handles aliasing using a traditional /etc/aliases file.
#
##### NB You must ensure that /etc/aliases exists. It used to be the case
##### NB that every Unix had that file, because it was the Sendmail default.
##### NB These days, there are systems that don't have it. Your aliases
##### NB file should at least contain an alias for "postmaster".
#
# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you
# can specify "user" on the transports that are used. Note that the transports
# listed below are the same as are used for .forward files; you might want
# to set up different ones for pipe and file deliveries from aliases.

#system_aliases:
# driver = redirect0
# allow_fail
# allow_defer
# data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = mailnull
# group = mail
# file_transport = address_file
# pipe_transport = address_pipe


# This router handles forwarding using traditional .forward files in users'
# home directories. If you want it also to allow mail filtering when a forward
# file starts with the string "# Exim filter", uncomment the "allow_filter"
# option.

# The no_verify setting means that this router is skipped when Exim is
# verifying addresses. Similarly, no_expn means that this router is skipped if
# Exim is processing an EXPN command.

# The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file generates an
# address that is an ancestor of the current one, the current one gets
# passed on instead. This covers the case where A is aliased to B and B
# has a .forward file pointing to A.

# The three transports specified at the end are those that are used when
# forwarding generates a direct delivery to a file, or to a pipe, or sets
# up an auto-reply, respectively.
