Pkg exim4 users - Apr 2007 - exim seems to ignore /etc/email-addresses

Hi,


it seems to me as exim is ignorring my ''/etc/email-addresses''.
Do I have to configure exim to use it? I think it is enabled by default.
exim rewrite the part of the email after the @ but not the part before.
I''m using Debian 4.0.

Thnaks
      Bernd

Here are logs and config files:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is /etc/email-addresses. It is part of the exim package
#
# This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local
# part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal.
#
# It should contain lines of the form:
#
#user: someone@isp.com
#otheruser: someoneelse@anotherisp.com

lix: my.email@gmx.de
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use ''dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config''
#
# Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic
# changes
# to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your
# local
# changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that
# mess
# around with multiple versions of the file.
#
# update-exim4.conf uses this file to determine variable values to
# replace
# the DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF strings in the configuration template
# files.
#
# Most settings found in here do have corresponding questions in the
# Debconf configuration, but not all of them.
#
# This is a Debian specific file

Actually, it is supposed to rewrite the entire address.

What exactly did you do to generate the message that was rejected by
GMX?

I expect it to rewrite my local email-address lix at Hugo to my gmx-address
my.email at gmx.de. But it only rewrites it to lix at gmx.de. But this is not
my gmx-address.

I think so too. But actually it doesn''t on my system.

I wrote a message with mutt to my other email
bernd.schoebel at phil.stud.uni-erlangen.de. But it was rejected because
exim tried to send it as lix at gmx.de which is not the correct address. It
should have used my.email at gmx.de. The gmx SMTP-Server claimed that it
was a differnet loggedin user.

I hope, I made the problem clear now.

Can you reproduce this by piping a message (or even a single line) to
exim?

For me, it seems to work:
$ cat /etc/email-addresses
mh: local.test at zugschlus.de
$ echo foo | exim -d-all+rewrite mh+debian-packages at zugschlus.de
<debug output deleted>

Log entries:

I''d like to see your Debug output.

Okay I tried that. But I only can do it with debugging output while I am
root. So I created a new  line in /etc/email-addresses
''root: my.email at gmx.de''
Othwerwiese I get ''exim: debugging permission denied''.

I noticed that the domain is also not right it should be @gmx.de but it

I have here:

I suspect that your exim either chokes about the mixed-case host name
(try lower casing it), or about the fact that your box does not have
an FQDN.

Okay I tried it with a lower case hostname in
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf an now it worked.
This line
dc_other_hostnames=''Hugo''
I changed into
dc_other_hostnames=''hugo''
and now it worked.

Perhaps this should apper somewhere in exim4-config or the doc.

Thank you for your help Marc.

Good to know.

We shold probably lowercase the input read from update-exim4.conf.conf
and/or hostname --fqdn. Crossposting to -devel to find out the other
people''s opinion.
