Subject: Correcting Addresses
I have just recently had a couple of messages whose recipient address
was incorrect. They were of the form

    user@???


where k.l.m.n is an IP address - and hence for Exim the address should
be of the form

    user@[k.l.m.n]


I changed the address in the following sequence of commands

    add the correct address;
    exim -Mar <message-id> user@[k.l.m.n]
    "delete" the wrong address;
    exim -Mmd <message-id> user@???
    force delivery;
    exim -M <message-id>


Is there not a simple option to replace an address in a given message ?
