Subject: Re: [exim] Forwarding to destination / SRS / SPF
Finally I've had some success. You email explain it perfectly, but for an
exim newbie it was still a challenge. I got it working, but have come up
with something that is not so nice.

Here is the flow of what I am doing.

1) In ACL where I accept message I execute:

set acl_m_delivery =
${lookup{$local_part}nwildlsearch{/etc/domains/$domain/deliverydat}}

2) Then in a redirect router I decide if I should do an SRS rewrite of the
errors_to address:

condition = ${if == {${extract{srs}{$acl_m_delivery}}}{1}}
condition = ${if match{${lookup dnsdb{>\n;
defer_never,txt=$sender_address_domain}}}{\N(?m)^v=spf1\s\N} {1}{0}}
address_data = ${readsocket{/tmp/srsd}\
{FORWARD $sender_address_local_part@$sender_address_domain k2.com\n}\
{5s}{\n}{:defer: SRS daemon failure}}
errors_to = ${quote_local_part:${local_part:$address_data}}@
${domain:$address_data}

3) My final action takes place in a manualroute:

route_data = ${extract{smarthosts}{$acl_m_delivery}}


All well and good, it works. Read the configuration from a file and act on
it. Perfect.

The potential problem I am seeing is a user provides (via web page) their
destination server, which
is incorrect. I am reading from the deliverydat file (along with SRS
action).

Since I am reading the deliverydata in the ACL, which is only executed when
the message is first received I can end up with stuck messages. The user
provides bad destination server info, I read it... message stuck.

If I was to read the deliverydat file in the router will the file be read
every time the message is
processed? That way if the server information is corrected, EXIM will
automatically have access to it.

I tried reading in the router, storing it in address_data but that caused a
conflict. Is there another
variable I can use to store the data from my deliverydat file in the router?



Thanks,

Robert G.
