Exim is only needed for outbound mails, not incoming. I have the following line, which mostly works < at >beam.tv obscured< at >beam.tv Ffrs but emails still show as from whichever user sent them, e.g. "root <obscured< at >beam.tv>". Is there any way to change the email to appear as from another user rather than just change the address, e.g. "support <obscured< at >beam.tv>" no matter which user sent the email? Adam. Adam Bagnall 2008-08-21T13:33:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80339 I'm planning exim with virtual domains/users in MySQL database. I've installed a quick pilot and mail delivery for virtual users works. I need to implement offsite forward with local copy (some people want to get copy of incoming message delivered to address in different system.) How do|would you implement this feature with virtual users in MySQL? (Also what do you think is best way to implement aliases for user addresses?) For delivery to virtual users I'm using following construction: virtual_user: driver = redirect allow_fail allow_defer data = ${lookup mysql{ SELECT maildir FROM users WHERE id='${local_part}< at >${domain}' }} directory_transport = address_directory and address_directory: debug_print = "T: address_directory for $local_part< at >$domain" driver = appendfile delivery_date_add envelope_to_add = true return_path_add = true check_string = "" escape_string = "" maildir_format = true mode = 0600 user = mail group = mail Thank you for your tips and hints. Vit Vitezslav Kotrla 2008-08-21T03:58:38 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80338 Yes, but so could the condition; they match the same domains. This was the behaviour requested. The result? Someone other than Yahoo! with a mail domain that starts "yahoo." would also have at most 5 mails per SMTP connection. Seems like a fairly harmless limitation. -Phil Phil Pennock 2008-08-20T18:14:29 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80337 Hi! I wasn't happy with this multi-line log entry as well. The problem is that libdkim already outputs the signature in multiple lines. It is necessary to combine those lines into one. I wrote a small patch that does this but I am not sure if it is save to be used in a production environment. A better solution would be to have libdkim output the signature header in only one line and let exim break it up into multiple lines. Björn Björn Schlögl 2008-08-20T16:58:40 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80336 When I sign a message with DomainKeys, the log entry looks like: "2008-08-19 07:11:19 1KVKQp-0003f3-80 DK: message signed using a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=dk1; d=grepular.com; h=Received:MIME-Version:Content-Type:Content-Transfer-Encoding:To:Subject:Date:User-Agent:From:Message-Id:X-Grepular-SenderIdent;" That's fine, however, when I sign with DKIM, the log entry looks like: "2008-08-20 15:33:52 1KVokT-0005yB-J7 Message signed with DKIM: DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=grepular.com; s=dkim1; h=Message-ID:Date:From:MIME-Version:To: Subject:Content-Type:Content-Transfer-Encoding:X-Sp4mTr4p; bh=VA gC5MVP54VmvlcGQaMT2ZdmokXkhMKi/RNSpcUu2qw=; b=HJ5hwqZJEfZpb7rgj1 6F5PBGzTI26Ein3BlFWDO7rKtqJ5Z4vkZwKdWy68Q6/BhUyYNft2G8xZXGKNfC7+ y4YKOr3bBP48VnmVOTWRk69pY9cP6t7i8F1wy2MfiSOCoIx2WSDw2hBVrUKa/YRk KAPjO+Vn28J8nHITnvR7YreZ8= " I didn't think it was valid for a mainlog entry to run over several separate lines? http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch49.html specifies that, "The main log records the arrival of each message and each delivery in a single line in each case." and "Every log line starts with a timestamp" I'm using Exim 4.69, with libdkim-1.0.16-tk.tar.gz compiled in. Also. In 4.70, will it be possible to sign with both DomainKeys and DKIM at the same time? I can see from http://www.mail-archive.com/exim-dev< at >exim.org/msg02316.html that Tom Kistner wrote a patch for 4.69 to do this back in March... Also, on the exim wiki page for DomainKeys (http://wiki.exim.org/DomainKeys) it has info on what to do with your DNS, but there is nothing similar on the DKIM page (http://wiki.exim.org/DKIM). As I understand it, it's pretty much the same except for I use _policy._domainkey.domain rather than _domainkey.domain, for DKIM, but I'm not 100% sure. Mike Mike Cardwell 2008-08-20T14:57:08 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80335 I have created a patch for forcing altermime compatibility with outlook, I've posted details here: http://r0b0tz.com/?p=19 Larry Williamson 2008-08-20T14:16:48 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80334 On 20 Aug 2008, at 08:16, 91change wrote: Thats a bit drastic. Although the file permissions should prevent people (meaning any local user) being able to read new messages, they can move them, delete them and create new ones directly in the queue. They can also modify any messages that were in the queue when you changed the permissions. If exim creates the directory it set things correctly according to the settings it has at the time. Should it find the directory already there it assumes things are set up correctly. If the settings are changed after the spool dir was created that can cause problems as you are finding. One solution is to just mv the spool dir out the way and let exim re- create it. If there are any spool files (don't bother about db hints) then they can be placed back in the queue after, setting ownership correctly.

Ian Eiloart 2008-08-20T08:47:53 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80330 Personally, I would prefer (and I suspect many others would feel the same way) if software didn't go changing things to suit itself. If I set permissions on a directory it is because that is what I want, if exim has a problem with that then it should complain, it shouldn't just ignore what I have done and replace it with what it thinks is best. I can't think of too many programs that would change permissions on existing files, and that is a good thing. With more "user friendly" unix-like systems appearing on the scene people are starting to expect windows-like functionality (you click on a wizard and the system does what ever is necessary to make the current program work, even if it breaks something else in the process). Obviously when working on systems that are expected to have a high level of reliability this sort of behaviour can cause problems. *Michael Heydon - IT Administrator * michaelh< at >jaswin.com.au <mailto:michaelh< at >jaswin.com.au> Michael Heydon 2008-08-20T08:20:15 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80329 Thanks , I did it and it worked . Is there any configuration , so that 'exim' itself does change the ownership to exim_user ? 91change 2008-08-20T07:14:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80328 Yes. If the directory does not exist, it is created and immediately chown'd to exim_uid:exim_gid So, if exim_user is 'xyz' and exim_group is 'abc', then as root run: chown -R xyz:abc /var/spool/exim -Phil Phil Pennock 2008-08-20T06:36:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80327 One of those domains has reduced the count of records. For another, which is still problematic, I confirm that a patch as you describe keeps Exim from crashing. The problem with this patch though is that if the last record has the lowest MX then it won't fall back. I'm tired and not seeing a simple correct solution to work around this bug at this time, eg perhps handling fall-back to TCP by treating the result as truncated. -Phil Phil Pennock 2008-08-20T06:19:10 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/80326 thanks a ton . A new problem poped up . I added exim_user = xyz in run time connfiguration file . where xyz is a default user in my system . this creates a folder called /var/spool/exim with 766 . So when it tries to write into the directory ,it is failing . IF xyz is user creating the directory /var/spool/exim ....Y it fails ? IS that directory is created by root ? 91change 2008-08-20T06:22:24 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.mail.exim.user
