[Pkg-exim4-users] Route only outgoing mails to smarthost

[fn_online at arcor.de]

Hi again

First of all, thanks for you suggestions.

The problem is, the mailserver "mail.mydomain.com" is like a black box for me. I'm not permitted to change anything there and it won't accept anything else than *@mydomain.com mail addresses. On top of it, I don't know all the different *@mydomain.com addresses the mailserver can handle, so using aliases is not an option.

I need a way to either route only outgoing mail to the smarthost (and deny all incoming mails with an unknown receiver to be routed any further) or maybe route only mails with specific sender addresses (the ones used by my "exim.mydomain.com" server) to the smarthost.

I'm currently trying to find out if it's possible to do this by creating an individual router. Maybe someone knows if this is viable or has an even better idea. ;D

Frank
