Hi guys, I have a working exim 4.62 server on Debian, with some virtual and local domains, that is a regular internet site, that it accepts and sends email directly. No problems there.
I added to this server an installation of the RT "Request Tracker" software. Now, this software handles email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] where mydomain.org is NOT handled on this machine, there is another mail server for it (which I also control and can modify). I have to have the RT on this machine and the email for that domain on another machine for reasons outside of my control. I forwarded the support@ email from the other server to the RT one, to a special RT address, and that works fine. However, when RT sends out email responses, they appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but they aren't coming from the same IP address that all other mydomain.org email comes from, and because of SPF records and reverse lookups and such, some that email get filtered as spam by the recipients. So, what I want to do is make my exim server with the RT on it relay outgoing mail through the mydomain.org server, ONLY in the special case that the from line is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This FAQ seems close to what I need: http://wiki.exim.org/FAQ/Routing_to_remote_hosts/Q0312 But, it seems to say that if the From: address was one thing, use a certain smarthost, and if it is another, use a different smarthost. What I want to do is use a particular smarthost if the From: address is a certain thing, but otherwise deliver mail directly. How do I do that ? There is another option: in the RT software I can set the "sendmail" command that is used to send mail. Is it possible I could make that command be a special exim4 command, perhaps with a -Dname=value option, that would cause that email to be sent via the mydomain.org smarthost, but other system mail would not be ? I feel my question may be too wordy, but I don't know how to be more brief. Any suggestions at all, including other terms to google on or something, would be appreciated.
