It looks like this:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
So, I don't see where I strip the domain explicitly, I thought exim
always does that by default. Is there a way to suppress this? I suppose
the error already happens in the router:
virtual_localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
transport = local_delivery
domains = "lsearch;/etc/exim4/maildomains"
local_parts = "lsearch;/etc/exim4/users.${domain}"
Do I need to remove all the virtual stuff and just go with one user,
/etc/exim4/users and one alias file, /etc/exim4/aliases for all
domains, something like:
users:
dkyut@???
jdoe@???
aliases:
dirk.kuyt@???: dkuyt@???
But where can I tell exim not to split the mailaddress into $local_part
and $domain?
