Something possibly on the same lines, a problem anyway :)
Someone just tried sending a message through one of the relays I run,
addressed to ABS@???.
Now, I have a rewrite rule which assuming the domain matches against a list,
it attempts to rewrite the LHS to RHS taken from a file in rewrites/${domain}
This works fine for anything in fido.net (as an example), failing and letting
the address through if it doesn't find a match....
*@dbm;/usr/exim/cf/db/rw_hosts \
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/usr/exim/cf/rewrites/$domain}{$value}fail} E
*@dbm;/usr/exim/cf/db/rw_hosts \
$1@${lookup{$domain}dbm{/usr/exim/cf/db/rw_hosts}{$value}fail} E
rw_hosts looks like this ...
frost.net frostmd.demon.co.uk
bofh.org bofh.org
fido.net fido.net
whilst rewrites/fido.net looks like this
walrus walrus@???
wildhearts wildhearts@???
etc
Anyway,
having matched fido.net against FIDO.NET (because domains are caseless) it
then failed to find rewrites/FIDO.NET because FFS isn't caseless :)
Should ${domain} not be converted to lower case when used in expansions, etc?
