When I send an email using: mailx -r , specifying the from address in the form name@domain, exim rewrites the domain of the From: address and Sender: address to the first entry in the local_domains list. My server hosts multiple domains, so I need to be able to specify the domain part of the email address.
My server uses Debian so the configuration is generated from files exim4.conf.localmacros (where I set: MAIN_FORCE_SENDER to yes) and update-exim4.conf.conf (where I set dc_other_hostnames to the list of domain names on this server). But I checked the generated file /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and it contains: .ifndef MAIN_FORCE_SENDER local_from_check = false local_sender_retain = true untrusted_set_sender = * .endif which according to my understanding of the documentation should make exim leave the from address specified in the command mailx -r name@domain destination unchanged. But on restarting exim and sending an email with mailx -r, it doesn't, it rewrites the domain name. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it? -- ## 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/
