i have some virtual users who i accept mail for.
each user has his own mail directory.
and i use a perl subroutine in a script to return the directory name.
so if the mail is for fred@??? and there is a mail directory on the server
for this user then the perl subroutine will return
"/data/mail/mydomain/fred"
and then exim can deliver the message into this directory.
and if the users mail directory does not exist then the perl subroutine returns undef.
but if the users mail directory does not exist, i would like to reject the message.
however, at the moment the message stays on the mail queue, with the following error :-
2005-01-19 17:46:59 1Cmwv7-0005MV-T3 == fred@??? R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (-1): Expansion of "${perl {get_user_dir}{$local_part}{$domain}}" (file or directory name for local_delivery transport) failed: Perl subroutine "get_user_dir" returned undef to force failure
this is my localuser router :-
localuser:
driver = accept
domains = +local_domains
require_files = ${perl {get_user_dir}{$local_part}{$domain}}
transport = local_delivery
and this is my local_delivery transport :-
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = ${perl {get_user_dir}{$local_part}{$domain}}
user = exim
file_must_exist
no_check_owner
maildir_format
mode = 0660
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
quota = ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}dbm{/etc/mail/quota.db}}
how can i get the localuser router to fail if the mail directory cannot be found?
when testing on a directory that exists if i do
exim -d -bt fred@???
it finds the correct mail directory and reports it with :-
..
--------> localuser router <--------
local_part=fred domain=mydomain.com
checking domains
cached yes match for +local_domains
cached lookup data = NULL
mydomain.com in "+local_domains"? yes (matched "+local_domains" - cached)
checking require_files
file check: ${perl {get_user_dir}{$local_part}{$domain}}
expanded file: /data/disk00/mail/669/mydomain/650/fred
stat() yielded 0
calling localuser router
and if i check it with a non-existant directory, even though it cannot find the mail directory
it still says it is going to carry on to the localuser router :-
exim -d -bt fred@???
..
--------> localuser router <--------
local_part=fred domain=nosuch.net
checking domains
cached yes match for +local_domains
cached lookup data = NULL
nosuch.net in "+local_domains"? yes (matched "+local_domains" - cached)
checking require_files
calling localuser router
thanks for any help that can point me in the right direction
