hi,

exim 4.43

I have a test system that I am trying to transfer some users to. The
test system seems to work but I am having trouble with the routing to
local pop3 mail boxes and seem to have created a mail loop.

To migrate the users I edited the aliases file in the primary MX so 
that
user:        user@???


The mail is then routed to the server2 but instead of delivering it
locally it does a dns lookup and sends in back in the form
user@???; hence the mail loops.

These are the routers, pretty default and I don't understand my it is
doing a lookup when ! +local_domains is specified

dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = $local_part
file_transport = address_file
# pipe_transport = address_pipe


Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanx.
Dp.
