It does. Exim 3.X is VERY old. Nearly all the people on this list have
upgraded to the 4.X series years ago. Consequently, most solutions are
going to be 4.x solutions.

I would suggest that you look at the 4.x backports for Woody (I'm
assuming that is what you are running.) It is SOOO much more capable.
It also works great with vexim, which is a pretty good solution for this
kind of problem.

Note: this is not saying that it's not trivial to do with 3.x, but if
you stick with 3.x you also stick with all the limitations of it, and
the fact that it's no longer supported "upstream". Many things are SOO
much easier to do in 4.x.

My solutions are exim 4 and probably wouldn't work for you.
