Not to worry - I have the last 14,000+ posts on the PowerBook, more on

This might help - reposting a 14 Feb 2004 note from Peter Cole:

Probably needs 're-wrapping'.

Hi all,



I've just set up my mail server of sorts here which is running Debian Sarge
with Exim4, Fetchmail, and Procmail.

I'm trying to set it up so I can send internal mail without going via my ISP
and external mail with address rewriting going via my ISP.

The internal domain is starpoint.local and the ISP domain is bigpond.com.

I found this configuration below for rewriting external emails only, and I
have created the file /etc/email-addresses-intranet, but external mail is
not being adjusted accordingly.

I'm obviously doing something wrong and my lack of understanding of Exim is
probably not helping.

As it turns out, the file I added this to is
/etc/exim4/conf.d/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp which I assume is the same
file they mean here but with a different name due to the newer version.

Any tips at all?

Thanks,

Pete


I found the solution :

1) Don't declare anything any /etc/exim4/email-addresses (or else,
    addresses are always rewritten)

2) Instead, use a custom file : /etc/exim4/email-addresses-intranet

3) Append the following lines to 30_exim4-base_remote_smtp
    in /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport

--
# translate outgoing email adresses to fully qualified adresses, as
# ruled by the file /etc/exim4/email-adresses-intranet
   headers_rewrite = *@intranet
${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/email-addresses-intranet}{$value}fail} : \
                     *@router
${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/email-addresses-intranet}{$value}fail} : \
                     *@localhost
${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/email-addresses-intranet}{$value}fail} : \
                     *@router.intranet
${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/email-addresses-intranet}{$value}fail}
   return_path = ${if
match{$return_path}{\N^([^@]+)@(intranet|router|localhost|router.intranet)$\
N}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{CONFDIR/email-addresses-intranet}{$value}fail}}fail}
