Following the excellent HowTo on the exim website, I have a mailman
2.1.5 + exim 4.43 server working without VERP in exim.
When I try to use the VERP router in exim.conf, I experience two weird
problems: 1) the email is "from" the real name of the machine, and 2)
the email is sent to my tertiary MX (offsite) host.
The machine has a real name foobar.domain.com, with a CNAME alias
lists.domain.com. Without the VERP router uncommented (below), email is
sent "from" lists.domain.com to the primary MX host, as intended. Both
names are listed in local_domains as well, and lists.domain.com is
inside mm_domains, as instructed.
The router:
mailman_verp_router:
driver = dnslookup
# we only consider messages sent in through loopback
condition = ${if eq{$sender_host_address}{127.0.0.1} {yes}{no}}
# we do not do this for traffic going to the local machine
domains = !+local_domains:!+mm_domains
ignore_target_hosts = <; 0.0.0.0; \
127.0.0.0/8; \
63.76.105.0/24
# only the un-VERPed bounce addresses are handled
senders = "*-bounces@*"
transport = mailman_verp_smtp
The transport:
mailman_verp_smtp:
driver = smtp
# put recipient address into return_path
return_path = \
${local_part:$return_path}+$local_part=$domain@${domain:$return_path}
# must restrict to one recipient at a time
max_rcpt = 1
# Errors-To: may carry old return_path
headers_remove = Errors-To
headers_add = Errors-To: ${return_path}
Can anyone spot the problem why with VERP enabled, it's sending as if
it's from 'foobar.domain.com' (not the CNAME) and sending it out to my
3rd level MX?
thx,
