Re: Exim catch-all recipient
Just a guess, but...does the aliases file accept Regexs? I'd try asking on the exim email list (www.exim.org). I had a problem with exim and got a quick answer from there (and it was a _good_ answer). On Tue, Aug 21, 2001 at 04:20:09PM -0500, Brooks R. Robinson wrote: Greetings, Okay, I give up. I've RTFM.

Exim to redirect mail from an unknown non-user to a given account instead of
bouncing it. I need a catch-all recipient, and I can't figure it out. An
example for that added clarity [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets bounced. I want it
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) sent to (valid) [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some other
user.
Did you read at the end of exim.conf and chaper 6 and 32 of spec.txt.gz?
One simple idea is
[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] T
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch*{/etc/email-addresses} {$value}fail} T
at the end of exim.conf should do it, I think.
Of course * entry should exist for /etc/email-addresses in second
erxample.
