Subject: [exim] Interfacing MailArchiva to Exim on a shared (cPanel) server
Hi,

Does anyone have experience with interfacing MailArchiva to Exim on a
shared (cPanel) server? Mailarchiva can either have all mail sent to if
by the MTA (my preferred method), or it can access it via IMAP to a
location on the server. But on a shared server these approaches would
require Exim to send mail for all users (domains) and then Mailarchiva
would drop mail not wanted (from other domains). This is not good for
the volume of mail, nor for the security/privacy of the other users. My
host suggests that it might be possible to set Exim to do this, for one
domain, but that it would likely be overwritten on updates and then
fail. The alternate (IMAP) method would be similar to cPanel's mail
archiving (Mailarchiva could just grab mail from there and then delete
it) but the problem lies in the fact that cPanel dumps each day's mail
into its own folder, rather than a common folder, so Mailarchiva
wouldn't know where to get it. I'm sorry if this question isn't phrased
well, I'm not experienced with Exim, and neither Mailarchiva nor my host
has done this before. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on this
usage on a shared server environment I would appreciate it!

Thanks, Pete
