Hi Maxi
The rewrite rules don’t work that way. See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html
Your rewrite rule should have three elements: pattern, replacement, flags. You’ll want it to look something like this, but note that I haven’t tested it:
This will rewrite the address in the From header and the envelope 'Mail from' field:
maxi@??? orders@domainA fF
This will rewrite the address in the To header, and the envelope RCPT To: field, at SMTP time (so it’s correctly routed):
A@??? someone@SomeDomain tTS
But, rewrite rules won’t replace the text description. And, you can’t limit these rules to only emails that match both sender and recipient. All emails from maxi@??? will be rewritten. Why is the description a repeat of the address? That’s ugly, and causes problems with some email clients (Apple Mail). Can’t you configure this properly?
Anyway, I don’t think the rewrite rules will do what you wish. Instead, you should create a special router, using "senders", "domains" and "local_parts" tests, and "headers_add" and "headers_remove". Something like this, again untested.
orders:
senders = maxi@???
local_parts = A
domains = egsolus.com.ar
headers_remove = To, CC
headers_add = To: $h_cc
address_data = ${addresses:>, $h_cc}
This should work even if there are multiple addresses in the CC field. But, I presume that if you’re redirecting an email from Gmail, the CC recipients will already have had a copy.
