Hi,
we are migrating from Sendmail to Exim (v4.10). Till now, everything seems
to work fine (multiple domains, spamassassin) - except one little problem:
Exim accepts the old sendmail alias-file without problems, but ignores a
leading '\' in user accounts.
For example (/etc/aliases):
--- <snip> ---
ysmith: ysmith
knk: knk,ysmith
knk-privat: \knk
--- <snip> ---
The adress "knk@???" is delivered to the local user accounts "knk" _and_
"ysmith" (my boss and his secretary). This is correct.
The adress "knk-privat@???" is for confidential emails - if a '\' is in
front of the user account, sendmail delivers the mail _only_ to the
"knk"-account. But Exim seems to ignore the backslash and also delivers it
to "ysmith".
How can I avoid this? I've read some FAQs about it (e. g.
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-1.90/doc/html/spec_22.html#IDX968) but nothing
seems to work :o(
If anyone is interested, I can mail the 'configure' file to him/her or to
the list.
Regards
Lejf
