Package: smail
Version: 3.2.0.115-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
It sure would be nice to be able to expand the $local_domain variable
described in smail(5) within the directors file.
Specifically, I was hoping to be able to make a director as follows:
users:
driver=altuser;
pwfile="/etc/smail/domains/${local_domain}/users",
proto=lsearch,
transport=dispatch
Where the transport is something like:
dispatch:
local,
return_path,
driver=pipe;
cmd="/usr/local/sbin/deliver_mail ${local_domain} ${user}",
user=mail,
group=mail
And the /usr/local/sbin/deliver_mail program knows exactly what to do
for the different domains.
Anyway, the transport expands local_domain correctly, but withing the
directors file is doesn't seem to expand at all. Instead, I get errors
like "/etc/smail/domains/${local_domain}/users: file not found".
The workaround is simply for me to have a separate director for each
domain smail is responsible for. This just seems like a waste, when each
entry differs only in its name, the domains= line, and the file= line.
