Exim4 configuration with rewriting for smarthost
For a week I have been searching without success for a guide to
configuration of Exim4 for a personal system which utilizes the
smarthost of an isp to handle outgoing mail and a web hosting service
to host a web site.
In this scheme -- which I think is not atypical -- three different
user names are involved, as well as a hostname which is not a FQDN.
Here are the particulars:
%%%%%%%
(1) software:
=> Debian Squeeze
=> mta = Exim4
=> mua = mutt
(2) localhost:
=> hostname = "beepbeep"
=> username = "wec" (the initials of user Wile E. Coyote)
(3) isp mail servers:
=> isp smarthost = "smtp.roadrunner.net"
=> isp pop3 server = "pop3.roadrunner.net"
=> mail is fetched by getmail from:
(1) the pop3 server of the isp, and
(2) from the pop3 server of the web hosting outfit
=> mail username = "wileecoyote@roadrunner.net"
=> mail password = "hungry"
=> In order to agree with the web site, outgoing correspondence
should have the From: address "wiley@acme.com" (and not
"wec@acme.com", and not "wec@beepbeep").
(4) web site hosted by a web hosting outfit:
=> URL = "www.acme.com"
=> mail address associated with the web site = "wiley@acme.com"
=> reply-to address for web site correspondence = "wiley@acme.com"
