wildcard recipients to script

I run a photo-sharing site and I want to enable uploads by email.

Users will get an address like m-1234abcd5678efgh[at]ourdoings.com

I want exim4 (on Debian stable) to route m-*@ourdoings.com to a script.

If the script has output, bounce the message.

It seems like this shouldn't be hard to do, but I couldn't readily see from
the docs how to set up wildcard or regexp recipients. What's the best way
to do this?

Was this not answered because the answer is too easy, or because it's too
hard?

If it's easy, could someone please point me to the relevant FAQ or
documentation section?

Re: wildcard recipients to script [In reply to]

Thanks Ted, that answered it.

I configured the following router and transport. Let me know if I did
anything stupid. This is my first time doing any exim configuration, and I
don't anticipate doing much more if any in the future.

ourdoings_upload_address:
local_part_prefix = m-
driver = accept
transport = ourdoings_upload_pipe

ourdoings_upload_pipe:
debug_print = "T: ourdoings_upload_pipe for $local_part@$domain"
driver = pipe
return_output = true
path = "/bin:/usr/bin"
command = "/usr/local/jetty/webapps/alpha/WEB-INF/photo_upload.sh"

That router has no 'domains' clause, so it will potentially match every
domain. I hope that's what you wanted.

No, not what I wanted. Good thing I haven't changed my MX records just yet.

Added to the router:
domains = +local_domains
