Grrrr....still can't seem to get this working. I'm at my wit's end. If I understand this correctly the incoming_archiver router is passing messages to the router even though they are directed to non-existent accounts/aliases.
All of the accounts are listed in folders that my local_parts directive expands and the aliases are all in files named /etc/valiases/$domain. So I need to prevent this router from routing if the $local_part of the message does not exist in either of these files.
Todd, I understand on a basic level what you are saying but I cannot figure out how to accomplish it. Would it be possible to get you to have a look at the current router config below and show me what I should be doing?
Many thanks,
dean
incoming_archiver:
#condition = ${if and {{exists{${extract{5}{:}{${lookup passwd{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}{$value}}}}/etc/$domain/passwd}}{!eq{$local_part}{root}}} }
#condition = ${if and {{eq{lsearch;${extract{5}{:}{${lookup passwd{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}{$value}}}}/etc/$sender_address_domain/passwd}{$sender_address_local_part}}{eq{lsearch;/etc/valiases/$sender_address_domain}{$sender_address_local_part} }}}

The easiest way seems to be to go the manual route and make two copies of the archiver. Have the first router detect if it's an alias and if it is (you'll have to construct a "condition" statement that does this for you), then don't do the passwd check above. Instead do a more limited test to determine if the alias is valid. The second router should basically detect if it's NOT an alias and then do the local_parts test above.
