I have read through the Exim Address Rewriting documentation now several times.
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html
Right here is a similar example rewrite rule:
7. Rewriting examples
Here is an example of the two common rewriting paradigms:
*@*.hitch.fict.example
That has a wild card as the address side and a wild card in the host side of the address. It looks very similar to the rules I am attempting.
I do not understand what I am doing incorrectly that Exim will not rewrite the host side of the email addresses. Please kindly explain.
I have tried the above, and also tweaked slightly to this syntax:
begin rewrite
root@* realemailaddress@??? Eh
*@hostname.* realemailaddress@??? Eh
*@*.subdomain.* realemailaddress@??? Eh
The host side rewrite rules fail to rewrite. Why?
I am thankful,
