The first option is discarted, because there are more than one thousand
clients and most of them connect the exim with ip, and the guy
responsable of this doesn't want to change,
The second one could be, I tried to recognize the header to stop the
loop, but the exim send me a configuration error, of course i didn't
configure fine, i tried with the next lines:
smart_route:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * "${if match{$sender_rcvhost:}{\something_on_header.*\}\
{!+local_domains}{ip_of_appliance_filter}}"
The exim recongize the header, but not the !+local_domains, it send me
an mta error with this option.
3. I am not the postmaster of this exim box, and I ask the postmaster
guy to do it, but they want to use the appliance, so I don't have other
way to do it,
I think the best way is the second option, only i need to know how to do
the actions.
