Hello
Hope some would be kind to help me with this. As you will notice I'm new to this.
I have a Debian unit with fetchmail, exim4 and procmail installed. Everything is
setup and all seems to work fine.
I can receive mail if I were to use the following:
fetchmail -k -v
I use -k just to be safe so I don’t delete any mail by mistake.
I can also send mail using ‘mail’ from a command line.
Procmail is installed but there is no configuration file so I assume it is ignored.
I now have a few questions:
1) when I issue the fetchmail command as above, is fetchmail passing the mail to exim4
to deliver it to the mail box, or is it delivering it on its own?
2) I have 3 domains on this Debian box and all the mail is forwarded to my ISP email
address which fetchmail logs into. I did the forwarding through my DNS. How do I set
this system up to drop the mail that fetchmail retrieves into mailboxes based on
Domain and User?
Within Exim I’ve set the following in the router part:
my_domains:
driver = accept
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/domains
local_parts = lsearch;/etc/exim4/domains/$domain
transport = my_mailboxes
and the following in the transport part:
my_mailboxes:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$domain/$local_part
user = mail
Is the /etc/exim4/domains supposed to be a file or a directory?
I assume it’s supposed to be a directory with files named after my domains e.g.:
Domain1.com
Domain2.org
Domain3.net
And within each file the name of the email users.
Is this right? If it is which order should this be within the config file since the
order in the router I believe is important.
The above I got from the “41.6 Virtual domains” section of the specs.txt file that
came with the package.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Reaz
