Good day!
I have a problem with mail redirection through sieve rules. I've configured sieve rule that redirects any mail coming to user to gmail mailbox (or whatever external mail system there is). But when sieve redirects any mail it puts vmail@%dovecot_hostname% into envelope address, gives it to my exim for delivery and gmail rejects my mail because user vmail@%dovecot_hostname% do not exist. Please, advice for what can be done about this behavior
if you say "any mail coming to user" why do you implent the forwarding in dovecot/sieve instead directly on the MTA?
i am using postfix, so no idea how to implement it in exim but i have on asverer 9000 forwarders which never touch the LDA at all and directly forwarded from the MTA
