Thanks. I will read it again.
I have a final job and then I think the server is ready.
How do I add in a catchall address so that everything except certain
addresses go to a catchall.
My pop aliases file from the old version looks like this
whatever1@domain1: popbox1
whatever2@domain1: popbox2
*@domain1: popbox2
The first 2 lines work well with your config supplied earlier, so can you
extend it to deal with the catchalls.
virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data =
${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/usr/exim/pop3.aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
debug_print = "R: virtual_aliases for $local_part@$domain"
i.e when no specific address exists it delivers the mail for that domain to
the catchall.
Many thanks
Gary

You should read this:

erification
It's not so vague at all ("The first stage of address verification, which
always happens, is to run the address through the routers, in verify mode.")
It tests if routing can succeed, so if the domain doesn't even exist, it
won't be accepted for example.
