How to ask exim4 to redirect some email pattern to a specific email address?

Question

I would like to redirect all email from

*@domain.fr to username@gmail.com

Do you know how I can configure my exim4 server on Debian to do so ? (My exim configuration seams to be split in different files)

Thank you.

You could create /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/350_domain_redirect and use the following contents:

domain_fr_redirect:
   driver = redirect
   domains = domain.fr
   data = username@gmail.com

This will work, but is very specific to your problem. An improvement would be to look up the information from a file.

As for everything being in separate files, you can make the Debian exim4 packages use a single file by running:

# update-exim4.conf --keepcomments -o /etc/exim4/exim4.conf

If the exim4.conf file exists, then it will use that, otherwise, it will use the autogenerated file in /var/lib/exim4.
