Hi

Comment on TMDA - just been working on finalising setup of that as there is
not really any docs on using TMDA with Exim, or even more with Exim 4 and
TMDA tends to be a bit qmail focused as that is what developer (Jason M.)
uses.

Anyway - different to how Jason sets up TMDA I did not use .forward files
but put a purpose build router and transport in Exim configure file. I put
the info up on tmda.user list, you can copy config from message there. I
put router between alias and forward and before local delivery. This way it
is easier to use as server wide setup.

Working OK so far :-)

Re: your question on specifying user in router or transport you can use the
"user" definition...

user = $local_part

or

user = specific_user_account_name

This what you are looking at?

Cheers
