Hi Shane,
Take the example below which is a pretty standard manualroute router, in
this instance it only "handles" messages which are not for domain in the
"relay_to_domains" domainlist. I say NOT in the list becuase of the "!"
(exclamation, bang or pling depending on what you want to call it).
By using and existing domainlist with or without the "!" operator you
can decide which routers handle which messages.
(Dont forget the plus sign in front of the domainlist, its a common mistake)
my_relay_router:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +relay_to_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
route_list = * mail19.messagelabs.com
no_more
For example to match all "local_domains" use:
domains = +local_domains
To match everything except "relay_domains" use:
domains = ! +relay_domains
You can have multiple matches by using a colon as a separator:
domains = +local_domains : ! +relay_domains
If you run into problems just check where you are using the "no_more"
option.
It's all in the official documentation on
www.exim.org but here are pdf
versions of the relevant sections you need:
