Hi Exim geeks & nerds ;)
I am living in hard times, trying to get Exim to use Sendmail's mailertable
and virtusertables as-is for mail delivery.
Conversion of these files is a no-no at the moment for some reason, so let's
just say I have to work with them as they are.
There are only two types of entries in the mailertable:
domain1.com esmtp:hostx.domain.name
domain2.com esmtp:[111.222.111.222]
I am trying to see how I can deliver mail using a manualroute router
I have started by going to the obvious resource (the archives) for clues.
So far I've made some headway, but not quite. I hope the list members will
be able to help me finalize this either by their own experience or by the
cool RTFM on chapter X.
I am getting the correct value for domain1.com:
me$ exim -be '${lookup{domain1.com}lsearch{/home/wash/mailertable}{${extract{2}{:}{$value}}}}'
hostx.domain.name
However, for domain2.com,
me$ exim -be '${lookup{domain2.com}lsearch{/home/wash/mailertable}{${extract{2}{:}{$value}}}}'
[111.222.111.222]
.... the parentheses will make Exim to howl ....
artificial_mailertable_route:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_data = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/mail/mailertable}\
{${extract{2}{:}{$value}}}}
me# exim -bt test@???
test@??? cannot be resolved at this time:
lookup of host "[111.222.111.222]" failed in artificial_mailertable_route router
I believe my problem is just how to get rid of the parentheses from the result of the
lookup.
cheers
