Hello Philip,
Well an ordinary ('E') rewrite rule does work - it is in place at the
moment. However, I am having to make major changes to our exim
configuration, and that includes several more checks - at connect time
and upon receiving the SMTP MAIL command. As such I would have to check
for both the 'plym.ac.uk' and 'plymouth.ac.uk' addresses. It seemed
easier to me to simply rewrite these at SMTP time to 'plymouth.ac.uk'
and then just do the checks against that address. Having said that,
things are changing day by day at the moment! I'll have a look to see if
I can revert to an 'E' rewrite rule but at the moment 'S' seems easier
:-)
Regards,
John.
