I haven't looked *rallly* close, so presume that a simple re-ordering of the
existing routers isn't good enough..
in which case... (postgreSQL driven here, but same logic..)
Two ways:
You could put a router just ahead of the one that 'finds' the mercury aliases,
with the SQL logic reversed. i.e it succeeds exim-wise when it FAILS SQL-wise
to find a valid alias, then selects a transport on the failure. Said transport
delivers to /dev/null.
But that leaves the sender in the dark.. Fine they have degenerated to naufght
but 'bots and that is what you want..
Othrwise..
We don't do a 'router walk' for verify = recipient.
Instead, we do an SQL lookup in the RECPT TO acl.
Downside is that ALL valid recipients - and aliases - have to be in the DB -
even 'postmaster' 'abuse' et al.
Upside is that there is exactly ONE place where ALL address and domains are
maintained.
That doesn't mean we cannot still use conventional *routers* driven off, for
example, /etc/aliases. We can. They just aren't used for verification.
That's been in production for some years.
CAVEAT: Not tested here, but you should be able to get the same effect w/o the
extra DB lookup in RECPT-TO by flagging the 'designed to fail' mercury router
to
no verify, at which point those with a valid alias accept, others reject.
And the sender - if not a deaf-dumb-and-blind spambot - get an in-session
message that the address is not valid.
