Re: exim headaches
I've been having the same problems... Here's what I did.. In the
rewriting section in exim.. (I'm not sure if it matters where you put it
or not). Put this...
me@thisbox me@whereishouldbecomingfrom Ffrs
This re-writes the Envelope From field, From Header, Reply-To Header,
and Sender Header, there are other options you can use which are in the
documentation under rewriting on www.exim.org. If you want to rewrite
all addresses that seem to be coming from you box do this..
*@thisbox $1@whereishouldbecomingfrom Ffrs
Also to test your rules do this "exim -brw myaddress@thismachine". This
will list what it will turn that address to according to your current
exim.conf file.
If you have any further questions feel free to email.
