Create dynamic email aliases

with exim mail server

[moltar]

I want to create a dynamic email aliases using Exim mail server.

For example: [e-mail]

"word-" is a keyword that mail server should look for. Then after "word-" can be anything and that should be redirected to a Perl script where it will get parsed.

Is there a way to do that?

Many mailservers can be attached to a database.

Or, just store the real names in a database, and pull the first part dynamically as needed.

I do it that way.

Set up a catch all account
Redirect all emails from teh catch all account to the perl script and then do what you like

Luck!

txbakers, I read about that too, but didn't really understand it fully. I got confused about *. and partial#- keywords in aliases. Do you know anything about it?

bilalak, I was thinking about that too, but I was wondering if there is a cleaner way :)
