Is it possible to do this in this version of exim?
Certainly.
You can use a filter (in the standard .forward file, if you use those):
# Exim filter
if personal then
mail subject "Staffan has a new address"
text "Please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the future."
endif
deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
See http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/filter.html for more details.
There are more advanced methods possible. Recent versions of Exim can return a
251 status code to the RCPT command, indicating that the message will be
delivered but there is a new address (not many MTAs are likely to present
that information to the user though). If you have cleaned out the accounts of
the ex-employees (and not merely locked them) and thus can't simply
use .forward files, or if you have a more advanced setup, you can use a
special router that does the same thing. The possibilities are endless.
Please tell us more about your environment if the above doesn't suit you.
