[Pkg-exim4-users] Bounces, errors and how to configure it

[Leopold Palomo Avellaneda]

Hi,

I have a problem with my exim configuration and I really don't know how to 
solve it. I have a little network at home with a old box acting as a mail 
server. This box is running a etch.

My mail server, use another box (from a friend) as a smtp, because my ISP 
doesn't have a good smtp server and in many places doesn't accept mails from 
dynamic IPs.

The mail server recollect the mail from me and my wife using fetchmail and 
delivers it to exim who pass it to spanassassin. My configuration works in 
general, but some times I got some troubles and I don't know how to solve it.

For example, if spamassassin is too busy, then, fetchmail couldn't delivery 
the mail, so, generate a bounce that is sent to the smtp of my friend, and I 
don't want it. I would like that the bounce or the errors goes to my 
postmaster at localhost.

Also, some times I have a problem with the smtp and it rejects to resend a 
mail and I got an error. However, I don't know how to send this error to the 
user that try to send a message. Neither to postmaster.

I have modified the   /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options  file, 
adding:


errors_reply_to = postmaster at localhost


MAIN_FREEZE_TELL = postmaster at localhost
.endif
freeze_tell = MAIN_FREEZE_TELL


However, this options doesn't do the job, and I really have no idea how to 
solve it. Also, I'm very comfortable with the debian way of do the things. 
But, with exim, I doesn't understand how they work.

The idea is to modify the update-exim4.conf.conf and after run 
update-exim4.conf, no? And how can I incorporate options not in the dc_XXX 
vars?

Regards,

Thank's in advance.

Leo
