Both at work & at home I have debian sarge, exim4 & fetchmail. Mail is collected from the office ISP by fetchmail via pop3. Mail is delivered to the office ISP/smarthost via SMTP. I have set up /etc/exim4/passwd.client for SMTP authorisation. My problem is that I want to automatically forward mail received by my account in the office to my home mail account. If I set up an exim .forward file and try to deliver the message to my home account it is rejected by the office ISP because the message isn''t from a permitted domain. The best I have managed is to pipe the message through the mail command to deliver it to my home address. Unfortunately this breaks mime encoded messages & I haven''t managed to recover any attachments from these messages. Is there a ''Debian way'' of handling this or do I have to roll my own exim transport?

If they don''t, you cannot use .forward. I''d take this up with their support staff.
