As no one else is replying to this (and I was really
hoping that someone would as I think my way of doing things with
Cyrus is fairly much a hack), here's how I do Cyrus with Exim
(and handle the escaping of the @).
I'll just paste the relevant parts of my config here:
---
domainlist local_domains = @ : dsearch;/etc/exim4/domains
begin routers
cyrus_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/domains
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/exim4/domains/$domain}}
user = Debian-exim
group = Debian-exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
localuser:
driver = accept
transport = local_delivery
cannot_route_message = Unknown user
begin transports
local_delivery:
driver = lmtp
socket = /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp
batch_max = 50
user = cyrus
---
with some other things left out of course (let me know if you
have questions on the rest). I can just send you my full config
if need be.
Insides of /etc/exim4/domains (it is a directory), I have
one text file for each mail domain I want to handle. Each file
is basically the same as /etc/aliases (or /etc/mail/aliases) and
looks something like this (this is
/etc/exim4/domains/bitgnome.net for what it's worth):
---
nipsy: nipsy\@bitgnome.net
bzflag: nipsy@???
abuse: nipsy@???
postmaster: nipsy@???
mailer-daemon: nipsy@???
---
so that a real, physical Cyrus account will have the e-mail
address with the @ escaped by a backslash and any virtual or
aliased addresses will point to that same address but without the
backslash.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense. I'll be glad to
help if I can! :)
