I have a working system using the same components, and I remember facing the
same issues. assuming your cyrus IMAD and sasl components are working
correctly then use the exim commandline utilities to check the routing.
Here are some examples of the routers I have used
irax_domain_router:
driver = accept
domains = dsearch;/etc/mail/virtual
local_parts = lsearch*;/etc/mail/virtual/$domain
transport = irax_domain_transport
userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
# allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
# This router matches local user mailboxes.
localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
transport = local_delivery
Here are the relevant transports :-
irax_domain_transport:
driver = pipe
# data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
command = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver ${local_part_data}"
return_path_add
return_output
message_prefix =
user = cyrus
# current_directory = /
In order for these to work I have a directory /etc/mail/virtual with files
for each of my virtual domains, the files contain the valid email addresses
for the domain. eg *: user@???
hope this helps
