[Pkg-exim4-users] userforward

[Ian Burden]

Hello Guys,

I've been doing lots of reading on this but I can seem t get this to
work.

I've been given the task of upgrading our exim3 system to exim4. All is
going well so far, but I'm stuck on our userforward router and I hoping
someone is going to be able to help me with it.

The following is our exim3 userforward router:

userforward:
  driver = forwardfile
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
  directory_transport = local_delivery
  no_verify
  check_ancestor
  check_local_user
  file = .forward
  modemask = 002
  filter
  suffix = .*
  suffix_optional

This allows us to add a suffix to the local part of our email addresses.

I've attempted to recreate this is exim4 but when I try to send a mail I
get a 550 Unknown User error.

This is the exim4 userforward router:

userforward:
  debug_print = "R: userforward for $local_part@$domain"
  driver = redirect
  domains = +local_domains
  check_local_user
  local_part_suffix = +*
  local_part_suffix_optional
  file = $home/.forward
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
  allow_filter
  directory_transport = address_directory
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
  skip_syntax_errors
  syntax_errors_to = real-$local_part@$domain
  syntax_errors_text = \
    This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
    been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
    reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
    a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
    to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
    a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
    a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
    mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
    forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
    happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.

This is the error in main:

2005-07-08 15:59:24 H=ice.countersnipe.com (countersnipe.com)
[80.68.89.83] F=<ian at countersnipe.com> rejected RCPT
<ian.burden-list at lakefront.countersnipe.com>: Unrouteable address

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

I.
