+# This is a sample script for demonstrating how to handle unknown users in
+# a more friendly way than just returning a "user unknown" error. It can
+# be called from a pipe transport set up like this:
+
+# unknownuser_pipe:
+# driver = pipe;
+# command = "/opt/exim/util/unknownuser.sh",
+# ignore_status,
+# return_output,
+# user = nobody
+
+# which is specified by a smartuser director set up like this:
+
+# unknownuser:
+# transport = unknownuser_pipe,
+# no_verify,
+# driver = smartuser;
+
+# Any output generated by this script is then returned to the sender of
+# the message. You can run any commands you like at this point, for example,
+# to attempt fuzzy matches on the local part of the address. Here we just
+# give a bland message, demonstrating the availability of the variables
+# $LOCAL_PART and $DOMAIN.
+
+cat <<End
+"$LOCAL_PART" is not a known user mailbox in the domain "$DOMAIN".
