Hi,

Upfront apologies if this is trivial or covered by a part of the manual, but from all of my searching and reading I couldn't find any reference to this.

Our server hosts various domains, and there are instances where some domains have the same local part, which makes reading and parsing the => log line difficult. To complicate this, some addresses are aliases to different local domains, which means utilising the email address with <...> is somewhat useless.

For example:

2012-10-23 13:00:42 1TQcDw-0005TD-1O <= exter...@somewhere.comh=mail.somewhere.com (test) [10.0.1.15] P=smtp S=1035 id=test@somewhere.comfor ja...@example1.com 2012-10-23 13:00:42 1TQcDw-0005TD-1O => james <ja...@example1.com>F=<exter...@somewhere.com>R=virtual_user T=local_delivery S=1215 2012-10-23 13:01:16 1TQcdu-0005gF-BY <= exter...@somewhere.comh=mail.somewhere.com (test) [10.0.1.15] P=smtp S=1035 id=test@somewhere.comfor ja...@example2.com 2012-10-23 13:01:16 1TQcdu-0005gF-BY => james <ja...@example2.com>F=<exter...@somewhere.com>R=virtual_user T=local_delivery S=1215

From the above, I have no way of knowing which local james account was delivered to, especially without knowing if ja...@example2.com was actually a redirect to ja...@example1.com. There could even be a ja...@example3.com that is compeltely unrelated to the james account at either example1.com or example2.com.

Is there a way to have the => log line output the full address for local deliveries, instead of just the local part? So, using the above examples: 2012-10-23 13:00:42 1TQcDw-0005TD-1O <= exter...@somewhere.comh=mail.somewhere.com (test) [10.0.1.15] P=smtp S=1035 id=test@somewhere.comfor ja...@example1.com 2012-10-23 13:00:42 1TQcDw-0005TD-1O => ja...@example1.com<ja...@example1.com>F=<exter...@somewhere.com>R=virtual_user T=local_delivery S=1215 2012-10-23 13:01:16 1TQcdu-0005gF-BY <= exter...@somewhere.comh=mail.somewhere.com (test) [10.0.1.15] P=smtp S=1035 id=test@somewhere.comfor ja...@example2.com 2012-10-23 13:01:16 1TQcdu-0005gF-BY => ja...@example1.com<ja...@example2.com>F=<exter...@somewhere.com>R=virtual_user T=local_delivery S=1215

Thanks,

Add "log_as_local = false" to the router that does your local delivery.
