I am thinking about how to create a "router" (transport for mail) in Exim 4.x which will allow non-Unix MUAs to send mail normally to the (Exim) SMTP server instead of through tmda-ofmipd.
This will simply things on the server side and help with having a single system installation. It may also help with performance (?) although that is not my goal. I am looking at the Exim side of things but I have a couple of things I need to clarify about tmda-sendmail and how it processes mail. When a Linux MUA calls tmda-sendmail it (tmda-sendmail): 1) runs in system authority context of user account? 2) tmda-sendmail looks at sending user name and processes various white/black lists etc. to determine if and how the sender address is rewritten? Anything else? 3) tmda-sendmail then sends modified email message to actual MTA, by what process? SMTP connection (don't believe it is this) or other means?
