[Solved] Exim with virtual domains issue

Hi,

I have installed Exim on a Arch server. I have configurated the MTA to be able to handle virtual domains. There is but one problem. It handles all e-mail as a local address. So joe@domain.com (username joe001dm) is handled as joe001dm@example.com in stead of joe@domain.com. I think it has something to do with the qualify_domain setting, but I cannot seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

I used to have a Ubuntu server where this issue was not present. The settings a have included in the exim.conf are identical.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Alexander

Re: [Solved] Exim with virtual domains issue

I found a solution:

In the ACL configuration find:

accept authenticated = *
	control = submission

Replace with:

accept authenticated = *
	control = submission/sender_retain

Now Exim will use the email address in stead of the login and the hostname.
