Re: [exim] Forwarding question

[John Carlson]

both john and sales are accounts, and I have a forward setup to also 
send emails sent to john to sales..

I should specify that I am using cPanel

I assume that when you mean forwarding you are setting up john as an 
alias of sales. I have an email of admin, that forwards to will and 
david (admin: will,david in the /etc/aliases file). When I send an 
email to admin this is the log:

How do you have your aliases set up?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to change the way forwarding is
    done. not sure exactly how to explain so here is an example

    I have 2 email accounts

    j...@example.com <mailto:j...@example.com>
    sa...@example.com <mailto:sa...@example.com>

    j...@example.com <mailto:j...@example.com> forwards to
    sa...@example.com <mailto:sa...@example.com>

    if I send an email to john and sales it goes to both, but when it
    comes to sales only as a forward, and I would like it to come as
    it's own email. the only way I can get this to happen is to send
    an email to: john and bcc sales.

    I found this out, because I have a filter in thunderbird, that
    moves emails with to: contains j...@example.com
    <mailto:j...@example.com> to a folder.

    below is something from my logs to show

    2013-09-26 12:02:46 1VPExi-0002oZ-Da <= t...@example2.com
    <mailto:t...@example2.com> for sa...@example.com
    <mailto:sa...@example.com> j...@example.com <mailto:j...@example.com>
    2013-09-26 12:02:46 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc
    1VPExi-0002oZ-Da
    2013-09-26 12:02:47 1VPExi-0002oZ-Da => sales <j...@example.com
    <mailto:j...@example.com>> R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery
    2013-09-26 12:02:47 1VPExi-0002oZ-Da => john <j...@example.com
    <mailto:j...@example.com>> R=virtual_user T=virtual_userdelivery
    2013-09-26 12:02:48 1VPExi-0002oZ-Da Completed

    notice that the sales one has <j...@example.com
    <mailto:j...@example.com>> and not <sa...@example.com
    <mailto:sa...@example.com>>
    is this because even though the message is sent to both, it knows
    that there is the forward so eliminates/trumps the normal email to
    sales, and just delivers it like it is a forward?

    any thoughts would be helpful

    John
