I do a similar thing like this
poll imap.blueyonder.co.uk no dns proto IMAP tracepolls
aka blueyonder.co.uk
localdomains chandlerfamily.org.uk libdebate.org
user "ac003a3222" password "secret" forcecr is * fetchall smtpaddre
ss chandlerfamily.org.uk
With this [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets passed on to exim. I use exim to
route xxx.
The two directors which pick up all the names are as follows - the first one
checks the /etc/aliases file, the second one picks up names
from /etc/exim4/local-users which lists the names I accept locally. All
others will get rejected earlier in the exim configuration file via an ACL.
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
localuser:
driver = accept
local_parts = CONFDIR/local-users
retry_use_local_part
transport = local_delivery
user = ${lc:$local_part}
lastly the transport for local delivery puts it into a local maildir
begin transports
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = /home/${lc:$local_part}/Maildir
envelope_to_add
group = mail
maildir_format
message_prefix = ""
mode = 0660
no_mode_fail_narrower
return_path_add
I then run courier-imap to provide pop3 and imap access to these mail dirs
from mail clients.
