Greetings, I have question about Exim installation, which is set up to work with several virtual domains, whose users and passwords are under /etc/vmail/. Under /etc/vmail there is one subfolder for each domain, containing passwd files in dovecot (?) format. The configuration uses dovecot for external SMTP authentication. Dovecot is set so it relies on domain name to determine the folder under which to look for the passwd files. Authentication works, but there is weird problem. When I set any MUA to pass the user name for authentication as user@domain, the MUA sends something like the following message. It seems to me that it just treats the while user@domain combination as the user part of the mail address and so forms the MAIL FROM part of the envelope.

I suppose the problem is not client-side and should be solved by rewiting headers, but I'm unsure how to approach the config file. I suppose this is fairly common problem, so it must be addressed by the default file. But I have no experience in Exim (and fairly weak at mail in general) so having not done the initial installation I'm unsure what to do. Start writing rewrites or reset the config file? -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
