Vacation and Exim with virutal users and domains
|
|
After having solved the initial problem with vacation and exim, I now have a new one. Tried lots to find a solution, but just keep going round in circles. Its probably so obvious that I'm missing it, so maybe another pair of eyes will see whats wrong. What I don't know is whether this is a problem with vacation or exim or both.
This is how we're set up here
Fred Jones has a log in account of fjones for his email.
The mail server has the domain name of mail.example.com
Freds email is delivered to fred.jones[at]hisoffice.co.uk
So we have a virtual domain file of hisoffice.co.uk and in it we have
fred.jones: fjones
Now, in .forward we have
\fjones, "|/usr/local/bin/vacation fjones"
and in .vacation.msg we have
From : fred.jones[at]hisoffice.co.uk
Subject : Re $SUBJECT
text...
This works fine, but the vacation email that gets returned has the return address of : fjones[at]mail.example.com instead of fred.jones[at]hisoffice.co.uk
We've tried \fjones, "|/usr/local/bin/vacation -a fred.jones[at]hisoffice.co.uk fjones" but it made no difference.
Now, ok, fair enough, perhaps I'm being picky, but for neatness it would be nice for the return address to be right.
Our forward router and transport in configure are:
userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
I've discovered that Address_Pipe gets used here
address_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_output
Any more thoughts anyone ? We're using V1.1.8 of vacation, Exim V4.66 and it's on a FC 6 system.
