Author: krakastan Date: To: exim-users Subject: Re: [exim] Received for header not added to subsequant local
addreses
appologies for incorrect/unclear terms - perhaps i mean internal and
external delivery.....
thank your for your comments - i will try to digest and work through your
suggestions
in the meantime to clarify (i hope!)....
I have domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com on the same server
address1@??? is redirected to address2@??? s
redirected to address3@???
The email is delivered to address3@??? has no reference to
address2@??? in the headers
BUT IF
domain2.com is hosted on a different server the email delivered to
address3@??? includes reference to address1 and address2
hope this clarifies...
