Greetings,
Häid Jõule! / Joyful Christmas! 🌲✝️🌲✝️🌲
We are having difficulty getting Exim Address rewriting working on Ubuntu Linux.
The steps I have taken:
1) Configured the Debian / Ubuntu style configuration over to:
dc_use_split_config='true'
2) Put rewrite rules here: /etc/exim4/conf.d/rewrite/00_exim4-config_header
root@??? realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
root@??? realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
3) Ran the following commands to update the Exim configuration:
sudo update-exim4.conf
sudo service exim4 restart
Send a test email, and it properly goes out to realemailaddress@???
So then I wanted to wildcard so that I did not need to think of every possible variation the local mail might be coming from in order to bridge it to the real Internet.
Attempted rules:
root realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
hostname realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
subdomain realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
Those did not fire.
So I updated the syntax to:
root* realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
*hostname* realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
*subdomain* realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
Those still do not fire. However....
* realemailaddress@??? FTfrst
DOES work as an option!
I simplified the rewrite option list to:
* realemailaddress@??? Eh
I found test program: exim -brw root
So am using that to now test the rules to see if they fire or not. The objective is to get exim to state that it will send the mail to realemailaddress@??? address. The only way I can
wildcard get Exim to do the rewrite is to run on the bare "*" rule.
What is wrong that other wild card attempts are not successful?
I am thankful,
