Yep - understood. You may have a problem here, though - you only want
SRS to apply to forwarded mail, but how is Exim going to tell if a
message is forwarded? Presumably all mail from the Notes server routes
the same way?
The action of the Exim SRS code is to rewrite the return path to a
coded-up address in the domain of the original recipient - I'm not
sure how you'd make it fire in the case of mail that had been
forwarded before it shows up.
Experimentation required - unless someone else can help. It might
'just work' of course....
