Sicerely appreciate all your help here folks. Point taken regarding the
domains, won't use them again, sorry!

So I was pretty much on the right track, but unsecure because of my lack of
knowledge. After some coming and going, I finally managed to make a *begin
rewrite* rule to work, but stil can't see how to acheive my goal. For
example, if I generate an email from Google Apps *From:* *maxi@???
<maxi@???>* *To:* *A@??? <A@???>* with *CC*
*someone@SomeDomain,* I need my exim server to send just one email *From:
orders@domainA to someone@SomeDomain*

Different rules I applied allowed me to change some address for something
else, but always within the same header. I also found that you can do some
conditional writing, but can't manage to write something that works.

Rule should be something like:
if mail is addressed to *A@??? <A@???> *
rewrite *From* to *orders@domainA* and
rewrite *To* whoever is in Cc (in the example, someone@SomeDomain)

I tried something like this, which I know it has many limitations, but
still didn't work:


begin rewrite

^maxi@??? "${if eq {$header_to}{A@???} {orders@domainA
}{orders2@domainA}}" SFf      #this won't resolve the if. If I manually
code *orders@domainA* it will work, but here I need to tell A from B from
C, etc. by nesting ifs or in some other way


^A@??? $header_cc STt    # this is working ok for domain A, I
guess I could just use an *
# I'm still missing how to remove all the other Cc and Bcc



Any suggestions?
