I got exim to deliver mail for addresses with equal local parts
on different domains by editing the 'local_virtual_delivery' transport:
file =
/home/virtual/popa3d/127.0.0.1/mail/${lookup{$local_part@...main}lsearch{/etc/vmboxes}}
So exim looks in the file /etc/vmboxes for the appropriate
mbox to deliver the mail to. /etc/vmboxes is structured as follows:
<full email address>: <name of mbox file>
Now exim delivers correctly, but when I want to fetch the
mail from the server I get an error.
syslog says:
popa3d[26018]: Authentication passed for <user>@127.0.0.1
popa3d[26018]: Failed or refused to load
/home/virtual/popa3d/127.0.0.1/mail/<user>
But the mbox file for the user exists:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vmail mail 1087 Oct 18 15:38 <user>
Whats the problem with popa3d now?
Any ideas?
Philipp
