Αντικείμενο: [exim-dev] Unexpected RFC 1123 address canonicalization
This one is really confusing.

The documentation says:

| One situation in which Exim does not automatically rewrite a domain is when it
| is the name of a CNAME record in the DNS. The older RFCs suggest that such a
| domain should be rewritten using the "canonical" name, and some MTAs do this.
| The new RFCs do not contain this suggestion.


The code says:

| /* If the original domain name has been changed as a result of the host lookup,
| set up a child address for rerouting and request header rewrites if so
| configured. Then yield REROUTED. However, if the only change is a change of
| case in the domain name, which some resolvers yield (others don't), just change
| the domain name in the original address so that the official version is used in
| RCPT commands. */
| 
| if (Ustrcmp(addr->domain, fully_qualified_name) != 0)
|   {
|   if (strcmpic(addr->domain, fully_qualified_name) == 0)
|     {
|     uschar *at = Ustrrchr(addr->address, '@');
|     memcpy(at+1, fully_qualified_name, Ustrlen(at+1));
|     }
|   else
|     {
|     rf_change_domain(addr, fully_qualified_name, ob->rewrite_headers, addr_new);
|     return REROUTED;
|     }
|   }


A test says:

fw@x-1:~$ /usr/sbin/exim4 -bt mailman@???
mailman@???
    <-- mailman@???
  router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp_ext
  host ss.vix.com [2001:559:8000:cb::2] 
  host ss.vix.com [24.104.150.2]        
fw@x-1:~$ 


Or, with debugging:

19:32:30 22717 domain = lists.redbarn.org

19:32:30 22717 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The configuration has no rewrite rules and no funky routers.

I think the key point here is that lists.redbarn.org has no MX
records, after resolving the alias:
