Change the lsearch to an lsearch* for the /etc/aliases lookup, and do
this in /etc/aliases:

*: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think that will work (can't remember if lsearch* is in exim3 or not,
though)

Catchall for Exim 3.35

2004-04-30 Thread Adam Dawes
Hi all,
I'm doing some spam research and need to configure my exim so that it 
accepts all incoming mail and shunts those with invalid addresses into a 
catchall address.  Basically, I want to mimick how Exchange servers 
accept everything. I believe the following will do it for Exim 4, but 
when I try it with my 3.35 installation, it chokes on all incoming 
messages. I was hoping someone might have a snippet that I could use in 
my exim.conf that would do the trick.

catchall:
  driver = smartuser
  new_address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thanks,
Adam



Catchall for Exim 3.35

2004-04-30 Thread Adam Dawes
Hi all,

I'm doing some spam research and need to configure my exim so that it 
accepts all incoming mail and shunts those with invalid addresses into a 
catchall address.  Basically, I want to mimick how Exchange servers 
accept everything. I believe the following will do it for Exim 4, but 
when I try it with my 3.35 installation, it chokes on all incoming 
messages. I was hoping someone might have a snippet that I could use in 
my exim.conf that would do the trick.

catchall:
  driver = smartuser
  new_address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thanks,
Adam
