I hope this makes sense, so here it goes: I am running 2 instances of Exim: eximFilter listening on port 25 on 1 server and eximMail listening on port 26 on a second server. eximMail is configured such that the users, domains, and mailbox locations are stored in a mySQL database. eximFilter simply uses a hubbed_hosts file to pass everything through to eximMail. This is actually an oversimplification of what is being done, but will serve the purpose for this discussion.
The problem is that external mail users (ie., users from home using mail clients) need to be able to send mail through eximFilter, but must first authenticate before sending. I don't want to duplicate my user listing on eximFilter server, but am also thinking if I configure eximFilter to read the mySQL database on eximMail it won't pass messages through as it should. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might handle this scenario? tia! -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
