I apologize if I'm repeating a well-known problem. I've searched for possible solutions but haven't been able to find any. I guess I'm not using the right search terms.
I have an Exim + Dovecot virtual domain configuration. My users are defined in Dovecot. Exim requires authentication before allowing any users to send emails to external addresses. The users log in with their full email addresses for the username (first.l...@virtual1.com for example). My exim.conf contains the following: primary_hostname = mail.domain-x.com domainlist local_domains = virtual1.com : virtual2.com : domain-x.com The problem I have is that when a user sends an email from one of the virtual domains (first.l...@virtual1.com), Exim sends the following during the SMTP session when delivering the email: MAIL-FROM: first.l...@virtual1.com@mail.domain-x.com Some domains (including Gmail) reject the message because the MAIL-FROM command does not contain a valid email address. Is there a way to stop Exim from adding the primary_hostname to the MAIL-FROM address? Thanks. -- ## 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/
