exim aliases

[honeymak]

can i have aliases like this?

a1: user1 user2

it seems exim doesn't support this?

another scene is

a1: user1
a2: a1 user2

You can have aliases like that. We do it all the time here.
Perhaps post your system alias router from exim.conf.....

-m

[honeymak]

just the default one after emerge

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/aliases}}
# user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe

Looks fine to me.

How are you doing your aliases ?

In my alias file I separate them with commas....

[honeymak]

whoooooops

alias need 'comma' as delimiter????

is it used to be 'space'?

i just

userX: user1@x.com user2@y.com

u mean this is the problem?

Sorry for the delay....busy weekend :/

I've never really given it much thought but yes, you should, as far as I know, be using
commas to separate addresses in your aliases file.

Give it a try and let us know....

-m

[honeymak]

yes, i did after ur last reply

but just wondering i was using sendmail in the old days without commas?

is it kinda rfc or spec?
