Hi folks I haven't re-invented the wheel but have borrowed someone else's. I'm managed to do all of the functionality within EXIM and have even managed to manage the subscription list from our CRM :-) I basically have /etc/aliases.d/list.<listname> which is used to inform EXIM (a) that the mailing list exists and (b) contains the addresses of administrators who are allowed to post and who receive errors. I then have /etc/aliases.d/list.<listname>.members which contains the target addresses. I then set up EXIM as per http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-some_common_configuration_settings.html including using VERP and other settings to generate individual outgoing emails and individual incoming error messages. All works as expected except where the remote mail server does a sender_verify. For some reason when the remote server does a sender_verify my EXIM server doesn't verify the sender (VERP generated FROM address) despite being able to handle errors coming back to the same address. Anyone got a clue what I've missed. The relevent sections of my config consists of: begin routers #Added because Yahoo based services are blocking 88.211.105.30 smarthost: driver = manualroute domains = +smarthost_domains transport = remote_smtp route_data = mail.vaioni.com no_more verp_dnslookup: driver = dnslookup domains = ! +local_domains transport = remote_smtp condition = ${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\$} {yes} {no}} errors_to = ${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\$}\ {$1-bounce+$local_part=$domain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx}fail} no_more dnslookup: driver = dnslookup domains = ! +local_domains # domains = groucho.ringways.co.uk transport = ${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\$}\ {verp_smtp}{remote_smtp}} ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 no_more # The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s), that is those # domains that are defined by "domainlist local_domains" above. # handle distribution lists distribution_lists: driver = redirect domains = ringways.co.uk condition = ${if exists {/etc/aliases.d/lists.$local_part.members} {yes} {no}} file = /etc/aliases.d/lists.$local_part.members # forbid_pipe forbid_file errors_to = $local_part-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx no_more distribution_list_requests: driver = redirect domains = ringways.co.uk local_part_suffix = -bounce* file = /etc/aliases.d/lists.$local_part no_more .......... begin transports # This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections. remote_smtp: driver = smtp # used with distribution lists verp_smtp: driver = smtp max_rcpt = 1 return_path = ${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\$}\ {$1-bounce+$local_part=$domain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx}fail} # This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP using the # "message submission" port (RFC4409).
