whoops. hit the wrong key and ZOOM off it goes, prematurely.
heh. :)
i have an alias file for each domain i host, so i can keep users
conceptually separated per domain.
here's how i do it on my potato debian system -- your mileage may vary:
/etc/exim.conf:
#directors:
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
domains = "partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/DOMAINS"
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/${domain_data}
search_type = "lsearch*"
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch
note -- putting system_aliases FIRST would make /etc/aliases override
the domain-specific aliases in /etc/exim/<domain> files...
/etc/exim/DOMAINS:
# *.domain.name /etc/exim/<aliasfile>
*.serensoft.com: serensoft
*.dontuthink.com: dontuthink
*.bestop.agfin.com: bestop
*.bucks2browse.com: bucks2browse
*.buckstobrowse.com: bucks2browse
*.on-the-fridge.com: fridge
*.24x7sports4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7baseball4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7basketball4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7fitness4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7football4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7golf4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7hockey4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7olympics4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7soccer4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7softball4u.com: 24x7_4u
*.24x7tennis4u.com: 24x7_4u
the DOMAINS file is checked against recipient addresses such as
< [EMAIL PROTECTED] > for a match in the first column, and the
second column is the name of the file for that domain containing
aliases for that domain.
/etc/exim/serensoft:
laurie: rdt
rdt: rdt
richard: rdt
b2b: rdt
info: rdt
tharprn: tharprn
bestop: will
puz: will
easyDXFtype: will
3d: will
frontier: will
webmaster: will
kat*: kat
trillich: trillich
so anything going to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will wind up
in the mailbox of user "kat". and user "will" (moi) gets any
email intended for [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so forth.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #19 from Dave Sherohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)?
Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead
of the common names for services using a particular port) then
try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat".
Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details.
