Hi all,
I've been trying to work out one things but seem to not have enough of a clue to get
anywhere. I can briefly describe this problem I am having as 'problem with filtering
using user prefs when dealing with an aliased addresses ?'
Firstly, I use exim with the following to deliver mail to that directory
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
envelope_to_add = true
file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
and this to process the aliases
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
domains = partial2-lsearch;/etc/exim/clients/domains
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/clients/$domain_data
search_type = lsearch*
the alias format will be - alias username - on each line......
and this for spamcheck
spamcheck:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${local_part}
bsmtp = all
home_directory = "/tmp"
current_directory = "/tmp"
# must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in!
user = mail
group = mail
return_path_add = false
log_output = true
return_fail_output = true
prefix =
suffix =
so lets say my alias is 'chris' (hence [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and my username is 'christo'
if mail coming into [EMAIL PROTECTED], spamd will run with uid 'chris' (of course...no
such user on system)...so it does not run the user_pref file in home dir
but, if mail comes in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], then spamd will run with uid of
'christo'. which makes proper use of user_pref file in home dir.
i've looked through everything in the list archives and found nothing i could kinda
try as a solution.
would anyone have some idea to what i can try or a solution that might work ?
Thanks to all for any all
Regards
Chris
