Hi all, I have a desire to inject emails which have been received via getmail into my Exim server so that they skip everything but a specific router. The router hands off processing to an "Exim filter" file which sets up final deliveries to the correct Maildirs.
The desire comes about from having many email accounts being fetched using getmail via POP/IMAP which are then all fed into my inbox. Previously, these emails were then processed through my MUA's Message Filters to they all ended up in the correct Maildirs. The loss of all of these filters meant changing tack. The "Exim filter" works just fine for all emails which are delivered normally to the server, but those pulled in via getmail skip Exim entirely by being written to the Maildir directly. I could setup getmail to filter the emails itself into the correct locations, but I would rather have all of the filtering in the one .forward file. The To:, From:, Delivered-To:, etc. headers are not consistent so piping each into Exim via "exim -bm -t" may end up emails being delivered externally (loop!) our bounced out (bad!). One option would be set set a safe (local) bounce and recipient addresses on the command line. Given that the old style spam filtering used to have emails piped out to processes and then re-injected into a router/transport, and that I know the $domain, $local_part and router I want to use, what are the command line arguments I want to be using to do this? My google foo has so far failed me even when I go look at the old spam scanning instructions. The only hint I have so far is that I could structure the injected emails like BSMTP and call "exim -bS -oMr userfwd", but then I would need a program to convert a raw email into bsmtp. Or should I throw out my Exim filter and use procmail as MDA for both Exim Maildir and getmail deliveries. Injecting emails back into Exim is really an attempt to make Exim+Exim filter my MDA so I may be overloading things. -- ## List details at https://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/
