Hi
Exim version 4.50 with maildir support.
I am trying to set-up a mail system using Exim/pop3 but am having
trouble figuring out how to make set up the /etc/aliases.
For the pop3 auth all the users will be added to /etc/passwd and so
might be considered local users.
I thought that I could use:
======= aliases ====
mailer-daemon: postmaster
postmaster: root
# mortals
joe: joe
jbloggs: joe
joe.bloggs: joe
=====================
==== passwd =========
joe:x:1001:1001:Joe,,,:/home/joe:/bin/false
=======================
When I do exim -d+route -bt joe.bloggs@???
internal_search_find: file="/etc/aliases"
type=lsearch key="joe.bloggs"
file lookup required for joe.bloggs
in /etc/aliases
lookup yielded: joe
expanded: joe
file is not a filter file
parse_forward_list: joe
extract item: joe
system_aliases router generated joe@???
So my aliases router returns an address without the server part
(fine) and then sends it off to the primary MX to resolve.
What I had hoped for was for it to return joe and use $home (or
similar) for the maildrop.
Below is my system_aliases router and address_file transport.
Can anyone suggest how I set things up so 1) I get joe.bloggs to
resolve to joe and 2) return /home/joe/Maildir/ to the address_file
(or directory_file) transport.
TIA.
Dp.
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = 102
group = mail
file_transport = address_file
address_file:
driver = appendfile
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
maildir_format
directory = /home/$local_part/Maildir/
# file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
