Afternoon,
I'm having a little grief with exim and mailman. It appears that some
component of my mail routing setup is stripping out the
$local_part_suffix from any email being sent to my mailing lists.
My current setup is as follows:
The MTAs are running 4.63 with mailman 2.1.5 on Red Hat Enterprise 4AS
I have some MX's that sit dealing with mail from the outside world, and
on them they have a router configured to forward mail onto the Mailman
List Server:
--------------
# MailMan Routing
route2list:
driver = manualroute
domains = +local_domains
route_data = ${lookup mysql{MYSQL_Q_LIST}}
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* :\
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = remote_smtp
--------------
The MYSQL_Q_LIST pulls up the relevant server for the list based on
$local_part, and this appears to be working just fine.
Looking at the message headers I see this:
--------------

The message loops through the MX once to pass through our AV router, but
the destination address is intact upon re-entry to the gateway, as the
logs show:

If anyone could shed some light on this for me, that'd be great!
Thanks,
