I have something slightly similar, though not in people's homedirs. In this
case, though, what I'd do is:
user must have files: eg. /home/user/emaildomains/usersdomain.tld
That file is an alias file for the domain.
Your system configuration has something like:
usersdomain.tld: user
and then your config file has some macros like:
| DOMAINCONFIG = /etc/exim/domains.cfg
| HOMEROOT = /home/
| DOMAINFILES = emaildomains
and some routers like:
| user_aliases:
| driver = redirect
| forbid_file = true
| forbid_pipe = true
| allow_defer = true
| allow_fail = true
| retry_use_local_part = true
| domains = lsearch;DOMAINCONFIG
| require_files = "HOMEROOT${lookup{$domain} lsearch {DOMAINCONFIG}}/DOMAINFILES/$domain"
| data = ${lookup{$local_part} lsearch* {HOMEROOT${lookup{$domain} lsearch {DOMAINCONFIG}}/DOMAINFILES/$domain}}
|
| user_no_file:
| driver = redirect
| forbid_file = true
| forbid_pipe = true
| allow_defer = true
| allow_fail = true
| retry_use_local_part = true
| domains = lsearch;DOMAINCONFIG
| data = ${lookup{$domain} lsearch {DOMAINCONFIG}}
The first router makes the email files work. The second provides a default
if that file doesn't exist. This allows you to delegate authority in a
sensible way.
You'll also need to make sure that your local domain list includes an
entry lsearch;DOMAINCONFIG, and then the whole lot will work sensibly.
