Thanks all for the replies...
We do have full root access so we can access the system filters, they are
located in exim.conf? Right?
Also, we are trying to log all of OUR outgoing mail for an account that all
employees use to reply to customers. We want to be able to review the emails
for customer service.
Also, since everyone is stating that we can not use a .forward file to log
all outgoing mail from a specific account, would we just enter what we had
in the .forward file into the exim.conf file? Like this:
# Exim filter
if error_message then finish endif
if $header_from: contains "joeuser@???"
then
unseen save /home/our_account/test.txt
endif
Or would this have to be placed in another file and then referenced from
exim.cnf.
Any help on how to do this exactly would be great.
Thank you,
Eric
