Hi,
This email is to possibly help someone wanting to setup virtual users
with Exim4 on Debian using split config.
Here is my virtual user router file
# cat /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/250_virtual
virtual:
debug_print = "R: virtual for $local_part@$domain"
driver = redirect
allow_fail
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/exim4/virtual/$domain}}
user = list
pipe_transport = address_pipe
no_more
And a sample domain file as follows:
# cat /etc/exim4/virtual/example.org
sales: person1,person2,person3
person1: person1
person2: peson2
person3: person3
otherperson1: otherperson1
otherperson2: otherperson2
badperson1: :fail:
There is no system user named sales, all incoming mail needs to go to
the listed people whom do have system accounts on the server.
When sending to the sales@ address, the mail was successfully delivered
to all of the required people, but a non-deliverable (non-routeable
user) message was still sent to the original sender.
To fix the issue, I had to comment out the check_local_user line in this
router file:
# cat /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/900_exim4-config_local_user
### router/900_exim4-config_local_user
#################################
# This router matches local user mailboxes. If the router fails, the error
# message is "Unknown user".
local_user:
debug_print = "R: local_user for $local_part@$domain"
driver = accept
domains = +local_domains
# need check_local_user commented because of virtual user setup....
#check_local_user
local_parts = ! root
transport = LOCAL_DELIVERY
cannot_route_message = Unknown user
Sending to sales@ now works as expected. All persons can receive their
email fine too and when mail is sent to the noentry@ address, it will
cause the non-deliverable message to be sent just fine too.
Cheers
AndrewM
