Re: [exim] How to rewrite a local from id

OK. My understanding of the command line switches is somewhat weak.
Where the manual says "test it using -brw" I assumed that is all I
needed. That was obviously not enough.

However, it turns out adding -v -bh 127.0.0.1 to the command line got it
to recognize the rewrite rule. Which allowed me to debug my syntax.

After rereading section 31.5, I now understand the wildcarding. This now
works for me:

begin rewrite
apache@* postmaster@$1 Eh
