Exim will expand aliases if so configured. The redirect router is the normal place for this (http://exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch22.html). Provide it with "data", which can be the result of any type of lookup, and it will redirect the message to each recipient in the "data". For example, this a redirect router I use to lookup group expansions in our LDAP directory: # this router searches the LDAP directory for mail aliases. # Aliases have an objectClass of nisMailAlias and the aliases # are stored as rfc822MailMembers ldap_aliases: driver = redirect allow_fail allow_defer data = ${lookup ldap { \ user=LDAPU \ pass=LDAPP \ LDAPS/LDAP_BASE?\ rfc822mailMember?sub?(&(objectClass=nisMailAlias)(cn=${quote_ldap:$local_part}))} \ {$value} fail} file_transport = address_file pipe_transport = address_pipe What gets returned by LDAP is a comma separated list of email addresses. The redirect router treats each of these as a recipient and injects each new recipient back into the list of message recipients in place of the original "group" address. You would need to change the lookup to reflect how you intend to store your group mail lists. If you want to restrict the group address to only being used by members of the group then you can qualify the redirect router with the "senders" option, http://exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch15.html#id2650664 For example, in the above router I could add: senders = ${sg {${lookup ldap { \ user=LDAPU \ pass=LDAPP \ LDAPS/LDAP_BASE?\ rfc822mailMember?sub?(&(objectClass=nisMailAlias)(cn=${quote_ldap:$local_part}))} \ {$value} fail}} \ {[\\s,]+} { : } } this is using the identical lookup as the recipients, but the result is being converted into a : separated address list. -- Nigel Wade, System Administrator, Space Plasma Physics Group, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : +44 (0)116 2523548, Fax : +44 (0)116 2523555 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
