[Pkg-exim4-users] selecting smarthost based on sender address

[Hans Ekbrand]

I want to use different smart hosts depending on the sender address.

There is a old document that describes a solution, but it appears to
be for exim3, or at least not for exim4 with split-config which I use

http://www.volker-wegert.de/en/node/35

However, I used the concept outlined there and tried to apply it to
exim4 with split config.

1. Create a file /etc/exim/my.smarthosts with the following content.

my.mail at bar.com:	smarthost="smtp.bar.com"	auth_name="my.username"	auth_pass="some password"
my.other.mail at foo.com:	smarthost="smtpgw.foo.com"	auth_name="my.username"	auth_pass="another password"

2. Changed the smarthost field in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf 

#dc_smarthost='smtp.gmail.com'
dc_smarthost='${extract{smart_host}{${lookup{$sender_address}lsearch{/etc/exim4/my.smarthosts}{$value}fail}}}'

3. reload exim with new configuration

sudo update-exim4.conf
sudo service exim4 reload

When I tried to send a mail, I got:

Which brings me to my question to the list:

What is needed to make exim use different smart hosts for different
sender addresses?
