Exim: send every emails with a predefined sender

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – We use Exim on our servers to send emails only from local automated users, as root, cron, etc. We have to specify every possible users into /etc/email-addresses. For example: root: alert@example.com cron: alert@example.com backup: alert@example.com This allow us te receive every email generated. The problem is when we add a user for whatever reason (for example when we add a package, some add a user), we can forget to add this user to /etc/email-addresses. Most of the time it's not a problem, but this is not clean. And the overall method is not clean. We'd like to configure Exim to send ever (HowTos)

I have set up msmtp and can send emails with no problem from the command line.

I have a method like

public void testing(){ getConfirmation() //this shows alert dialog for user confirmation showListview() //just populate list view }

I need to wait till the user gives response to alert dialog and then i want to execute showListview() method. But now, immediately second method called after getConfirmation() method.

I guess this is more of a best practice/policy question. I'm the postmaster for example.net. Another company has example.com. I get the catch-all emails, any email that doesn't have a user account on my server.

What should I do, if anything, if emails keep coming to user@example.net when it should be going to user@example.com? Should I just setup a forward, alert the user or ignore it?

I'm trying to configure an alert on low space on disk in Windows Server 2003, I already followed this step by step tutorial of microsoft.

Remove Exim version number 1 year 21 weeks ago

I'm trying to get rid of the version number that you see when you get an email sent from Exim.

Hi, how can I configure Exim (in WHM) to allow authenticated smtp user to send email only with the same "MAIL FROM" address? For example, if one user is authenticated as user@domain.com, I don't want let him send email from anotheruser@yahoo.com and so on. Thankyou!
