Hello exim-users, I am currently trying to set up an Exim mail server with Dovecot as my local IMAP system. Here is some info relevant to my setup:
Exim version is 4.97. built using pkgsrc. The main issue I'm having is setting up Exim for virtual users and to set up mailboxes in a normal way. Ideally I would like Exim to use /var/email/user@domain with a standard maildir directory tree. I am not sure how to accomplish this according to Exim documentation, which is extensive but also a bit overwhelming as someone who used Exim on Debian for years (which uses entirely different setups). Once I fixed the directory issue I can probably figure out how to set up virtual users and share that info between Exim and Dovecot. On Dovecot I can do this by using the %u variable. What would be the appropriate variable for here? I tried using a few from the manual but I was just blindly stabbing in the dark. The other thing I would like to accomplish is having an /etc/localdomains and /etc/remotedomains file to hold what domains are accepted locally and not. I don't suppose this is possible with current configurations? I have no idea how it's done on RHEL or Debian, it always came out of the box like that. There will probably be other problems that I have to discuss but I sincerely hope that I can get some help here. If I have omitted some crucial detail please let me know. -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## [email protected] ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
