Put in where? You previously said you had
local domains = localhost:your_host_name
in exim.config. Where did you put localhost.invalid?
I'll tell you what I've done on my system, which is a
standalone machine at home used almost exclusively by me but
occasionally for e-mail by other members of my family. It
may be a stupid way to do it, but it works all right for us:
1: Set up a different user for each fragment of my fractured
persona (one of them being thought of as the main user) and
each family member. Every e-mail address has its own user.
2: Put a line in exim.conf's rewrite configuration for each
user.
3: Write a .fetchmailrc for each user, and a .fetchmailrc
for the main user including all the individual e-mail
addresses.
If I want to send or fetch mail from or for a particular
address, I log in as that user. If I want to fetch mail
from all addresses, I do it as the main user.
Would such a setup solve your problem?
