Selective bouncing of e-mail, using Exim?
Ok, I've decided to stick with Exim for now (I know everyone was waiting to
hear that). I've skimmed through the (vast) documentation, but I'm not
sure if what I want to do is possible.
I have my own domain, so all mail goes to my POP mail box (not the best
setup, but it works, and since my connection is transitory, I don't mind),
and I'd like to move that to my local fileserver using Fetchmail. Local
delivery using Exim is working just fine, but what I'd like is that ALL
mail, unless otherwise specified, doesn't bounce, but goes to my current
mailbox.
Right now, all mail to @lore.com goes to my mailbox, and I have Eudora
filters running for things like mailing lists and whatnot. I like the
ability to setup arbitrary usernames (for signing up for web services, for
instance), so I know where my addresses go, and who sells them. Is Exim
configurable enough to hand an "bounce" list, for lack of a better term? A
file (like /etc/aliases), but one that contains addresses that _don't_
exist, as opposed to ones that do exist, but should be sent somewhere else?
Can anyone give me some hints/pointers on doing something like that? Is it
as simple as putting a global redirector in /etc/aliases (like ALL: scriven
at the end or something), and just setting up procmail to do the rest?
Thanks for any help!
