Re: E-mail with exim tip.



I have used this article to set up my home network and it is excellent.
Clear, concise and to the point.

One slight problem...I need to add and remove remote users a lot.  Having
all mail flushed into my account and then using a .forward entry for each
user is a little clumsy.

Anyone know if exim can be set up to send the mail fed in by fetchmail from
the POP account to each user with the unrecognised usernames going to me?
That way useradd would create the new mail account by default.

Not urgent so a pointer at the right help file would be OK if its a long
answer.
