I don't have any knowledge of Cyrus, so not using it. Can you please
mention any link, tutorial, howto to achieve objective i am looking for ?
I thought something like following i need to do on both exim instances
correct me if i am wrong.
I will create china users mailboxes on china exim instance and for US users
i create mailboxes on US exim instance. But still not sure how to keep same
domain name for china & US users because china pointing to
mail1.example.comand US exim pointing to
mail.example.com. So china users will use mail1.example.com in email client
to send / receive while US users will use mail.example.com in email client
to send / receive email.
Please let me know how to keep same domain name @example.com
The scenario i am looking will work as follows:
First system look for localuser, let suppose someone from china sends an
email to his colleague in china abc@??? sends to
xyz@??? it first check
xyz@??? exists locally and will deliever it within china to xyz
mailbox by localdelievery transport.
begin router
localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
# local_part_suffix = +* : -*
# local_part_suffix_optional
transport = local_delivery
cannot_route_message = Unknown user
And if xyz@??? exists in US exim server than it executes router
send_to_gateway and checks email sender address is @example.com and email
is for @example.com than email will relay to US exim server where US exim
server will handle that email locally.
send_to_gateway:
driver = manualroute
condition = ${if eq {${lc:$sender_address_domain}} {example.com} {true}
fail }
domains = example.com
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
route_list = * example.com
host_find_failed = defer
Finally if anyone from china from email abc@??? sends an email to
external domain like hotmail,yahoo it will send via dnslookup from china.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
Please let me know if you found any errors, flaws in it.I am looking
forward for your suggestions.
Thank you.
