Currently I have my exim configuration set to send all e-mails using an external SMTP server. All users authenticate with my exim server with a local password and then the messages sent is relayed through a smarthost to a remote SMTP server, which uses a different login compared to the one used directly by the users connected to my exim server (running cPanel). Here's the current configuration:
remote_route:
driver = manualroute
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_transport
route_list = * remotesmtpserver.com
remote_transport:
driver = smtp
port = 587
hosts_require_auth = <; $host_address
hosts_require_tls = <; $host_address
remote_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
hide client_send = : remote_username : remote_password
This all works well and as intended.
The problem is that I want to use a different remote_username and remote_password for a select group of users/senders. The login names (for my exim server) are full e-mail addresses, so I have added these e-mail addresses to a file /etc/differentlogin (i.e list of e-mail addresses separated by a new line).
I then tried following setup in the remote_login section:
remote_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
hide client_send = ${lookup{$authenticated_id}lsearch{/etc/differentlogin}{: different_username : different_passsword}{: remote_username : remote_password}
However this gives me the following EXIM error when attempting to send e-mails:
== [email protected] R=remote_route T=remote_transport defer (-48): expansion of "${lookup{$authenticated_id}lsearch{/etc/differentlogin}{" failed in mandrill_login authenticator: missing } at end of string
I attempted using $sender_address instead of $authenticated_id, but this gives me the same result.
I also tried replacing the variable to search for by a string i.e:
remote_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
hide client_send = ${lookup{[email protected]}lsearch{/etc/differentlogin}{: different_username : different_passsword}{: remote_username : remote_password}
but I still get the same error.
To check the syntax of my conditional I tried to add the following to my remote_transport:
headers_add = X-SenderTest: ${lookup{$authenticated_id}lsearch{/etc/differentlogin}{different}{normal}}
This works as expected and add the following header when sending an e-mail from the addresses/logins noted in the list /etc/differentlogin
X-SenderTest: different
Any tips?
Many thanks
