Hello, I got it going, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Here are the routers I made
qa_alert_user:
driver = accept
local_parts = alerts_qa
transport = lmtp_delivery
dev_alert_user:
driver = accept
local_parts = alerts_dev
transport = lmtp_delivery
dept_redirect_email:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{$sender_host_address}lsearch{/etc/exim/dev_servers}}
I suppose I could reduce the "alerts" routers to just 1 and change the
local_parts to local_part_prefix = ^\\alerts_(qa|dev)\\ or something. In the
dev_servers file, I have a IPs and the mailbox they should deliver to in
there as you suggested. Anyway, this works great, thanks! Seems so simple
after so much frustration!
And speaking of which, I was wondering, aside from experience, is there some
kind of rule-of-thumb about when you want to implement something whether one
should use ACLs, routers or transports? I don't think I've quite wrapped my
brain around this yet.
Regards,
Andrew
