[Pkg-exim4-users] local macros

[Andrew]

Hi All, 
I have a big problem with exim4 on debian. I have a basic installation
(Comes pre-installed on Debian). I am using the single file config.

Problem is I don't know how to 'define' a macro?

In exim4.conf.template I have:
ifndef CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS
CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|\''`#&?]
endif

I want it so that when my local users send an email to someone else in the
local domain, if their local part name matches 'CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS'
they should be denied.

So I tried this:
ifndef CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS
CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = a^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|\''`#&?]
endif

So because 'a' was specified, any mail send to say admin at whatever.com would
be denied. I still believe I need to define the macro so that this acl will
work. Because I don't know the correct format of exim4.conf.localmacros I
did this:

#.ifndef CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS
CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = a^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|\''`#&?]
#.endif

But again still no luck. When I said an email to admin at whatever.com it goes
through quite happily.





I hope someone can help me with this as I am completely stuck what to do!









Many thanks to anyone who can help

Andrew.
