Hi List,

i'm having some "problems" building a (debian/sarge) system with exim[1]
and cyrus[2] where users and their eMail-addresses are stored in a
postgres[3]-database also used by OpenGroupware.org.
Exim and Cyrus should - and do - authentificate[4] against that DB too,
and talk to each other using lmtp.
Unfortunately Exim automatically uses $local_part to address Cyrus while
OpenGroupware.org uses it's login.
So, if i restrict OGo-eMail-addresses to match OGo-logins it works fine.
It also works using an ugly workaround abusing a redirect router to
overwrite $local_part with the OGo-login taken from a psql-lookup.
Like this:

cyrus_redirect_router:
        driver = redirect
        redirect_router = cyrus_redirected
        condition = ${lookup pgsql{ blah...
        data = ${lookup pgsql{SELECT login FROM <snip>
$value}fail}@$domain


cyrus_redirected:
        driver = accept
        transport = cyrus_deliver


cyrus_deliver:
        driver = lmtp
        socket = /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp
        user = cyrus
        group = mail


If there is a way to transfer the mailboxname it should deliver to,
to cyrus in the cyrus_transport, i'm definitely unable to find it. 8-(
So if anyone's got an idea:please enlight me!

p.s.: I'm aware that this can be done using deliver instead of lmtp.
