exim forward possible alliass error or duplicate?


I don't know how to formulate this more clear.. Sorry for that.

The forwarding works like a charm. Except in the following scenario:

I want to forward info@domain1.nl to info@domain1.com (domain names are the same except they each have another extension) So when i do this the mail gets 2 times in the mailbox of info@domein1.nl instead of delivering one copy to info@domain1.com.

Now when i check the mainlog in exim(i use 4.76) it tries to forward to the alias 'info'.. If i say this correctly the alias of info@domain1.nl is info BUT the alias of info@domain1.com is also info.

Is this possible, and how can i resolve this?

ps. not that much of a exim expert, but really want to solve this :( I am now forced to redirect this using another email adres with a filter to send all the emails to the right mail..


Solution

  • The answer is quite dumb :$

    @Todd, still thanks for commenting.. But the problem wasn't exim or and forwarder at all! I used a domain pointer on domain1.nl.. And the domain pointer was domain2.nl. So i removed the domain pointer and changed back the forwarders and everything worked fine..

    Ahh well, at least everything is working..

    EDIT: Can't except my own answer within 2 days.. so sorry will do it than.
