Hi Ronald,
wich section you put this in ?
the section after the comments REWRITE CONFIGURATION,
probably the same place as you put your rewrite rules?
I am doing my rewrites this way:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${if eq {$sender_address}{} [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tt
Regarding to the docs, b and c stand for
b rewrite the Bcc: header
c rewrite the Cc: header
Since my entry in exim.conf is bcfrF it should only work for
b rewrite the Bcc: header
c rewrite the Cc: header
f rewrite the From: header
r rewrite the Reply-to: header
F rewrite the envelope From field
Since I didn't say t, it shouldn't rewrite the To: header.
But I will try your alternative if you tell me about the section to put it.
I think so too. But perhaps there are some hidden caveats
that you and I didn't recognize?
If you need it I could send you my exim.conf. :)
Problem with exim rewriting rule
Hi there,
exim works fine with me, but produced one silly bug because of low -level
configuration. I wanted to replace my loginname with my original email-adress,
so that my ISP will accept the sender adress as correct. Therefore I created a
mail-address file and put the following into the rewriting rules section:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
This part works fine.
The bug occurs, when I get mail from for example lpd for my local account. Then
the To-header will be changed and the mail will be delivered over my ISP instead
of directly to my local account.
But all I wanted was to change the From-header part.
Now I know, that I can do it with exim this way, but I do not know how. I tried
a lot
and got lots of error messages.
Can someone fill me an example to do this and a short explanation ? I don't
want it
to work without knowing why ... . (And please do not only refer to the docs. I
read
them all - it helped little).
Thanks in advance,
Klaus.
Re: Problem with exim rewriting rule
I am doing my rewrites this way:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${if eq {$sender_address}{} [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tt
And I don't have the problem (mail delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is ok)
Fetchmail works too.
I guess the b and c are for CC and BCC (need to look-up the docs for
that) and should not matter, but well, perhaps it does.
(The second line is there so delivery failures don't go out,
and shouldn't affect normal mails too.)
