Nope, there is not. But, from the documentation for this option I would guess it would be a good idea to use it: "When this option is true, Exim checks that the local part of the recipient address (with affixes removed if relevant) is the name of an account on the local system." Still, I am not sure if I have understood you correctl: >In my mail-domain, "phil.pennock" is an alias for my regular user >system >code. If the Router with this condition comes after alias expansion, >then $local_part will have that usercode (as opposed to, say, >$original_local_part) and if we have a check_local_user constraint then >we can just compare against $local_part as a proxy for checking the >username. So, for example, I have a message for [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a virtual domain on the server. Messages for [EMAIL PROTECTED] are to be forwarded to local user bar on the same server (say system.example.net). The final destination would become [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message is going thru the routers twice, first for the delivery of the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then, after expansion, for the second address. Right? If this router with this condition is after the one that does the alias expansion the router would only check for the username bar instead of both foo and bar. Is that what you are saying? -- Rejo Zenger . <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . 0x75FC50F3 . <https://rejo.zenger.nl> GPG encrypted e-mail prefered.
