So I changed my rules on the test VM system to:
begin rewrite
root@*
[email protected] Eh
*@hostname*
[email protected] Eh
*@*subdomain*
[email protected] Eh
And these rewrite rules worked with the command line test, and then sending
real test emails.
Actually, upon further testing.... seems that just the root@* rule finally
works. The rest do not.
I switched out root@ for another valid account on the server, and then had the full @hostname.subdomain.realdomain.com and neither of the hostname nor subdomain rules would fire. I tested them in the
VM having only one rewrite rule active at a time, then used the command line tester interface of Exim.
Perhaps did I still misunderstand about Exim address rewriting rule syntax?
I have read through the Exim Address Rewriting documentation now several times.
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html
Right here is a similar example rewrite rule:
7. Rewriting examples
Here is an example of the two common rewriting paradigms:
*@*.hitch.fict.example
That has a wild card as the address side and a wild card in the host side of
the address. It looks very similar to the rules I am attempting.
I do not understand what I am doing incorrectly that Exim will not rewrite the
host side of the email addresses. Please kindly explain.
I have tried the above, and also tweaked slightly to this syntax:
begin rewrite
root@*
[email protected] Eh
*@hostname.*
[email protected] Eh
*@*.subdomain.*
[email protected] Eh
The host side rewrite rules fail to rewrite. Why?
I am thankful,
