I have had my exim setup working perfectly for quite some time now,
but I always had a small glitch that bugged me. My main transport:
maildir_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = /home/$local_part/Maildir
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
maildir_format
prefix =
suffix =
check_string =
And the two directors:
virtual_external:
driver = aliasfile
domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/config/local.domains
file = /etc/exim/config/$domain/external.aliases
search_type = lsearch
virtual_local:
driver = aliasfile
transport = maildir_delivery
user = ${local_part}
domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/config/local.domains
file = /etc/exim/config/$domain/local.aliases
search_type = lsearch
no_more
Now the local.aliases is a file with:
user1
user2
And the external.aliases has
webmaster: user1@???
postmaster: user1@???
forwarded: forwarded@???
I have the exim book and by reading it, I should be able to use a
alias file such as:
user1: user1
user2: user2
webmaster: user1
postmaster: user1
forwarded: forwarded@???
But it never seems to work. Again, it works perfectly with the two
setups. What am I missing?
