Problem with UUCP-rewriting rule

Hello,

I've got a problem with Exim v. 1.62/1.625 and one rewriting rule.

I am using Exim currently under Solaris 2.5.1 (on a SUN Sparcstation)
mainly as an internetmailer, but I wanted also to use UUCP. Exim was
compiled at this machine with gcc v. 2.7.2.2 with the default compiler
options.

Exim is doing his job very well, it replaced sendmail on this machine.

So I looked up the old mailinglistarchives from this list, and found some
informations from 1996, how to edit the configure-file to make it work.

I used this example from Jeremy Bettis (posted in April 1996 in this list)
and adopted my own configure-file, added the uux-transport and the
neighbors-router, but not the procmail-part.

So I found this piece of rewriting rule:

(.*)\!(.*)@my.domain.foo ${2}@${1} E

and adapted it to my own needs.

I thought, it wourd rewrite my envelope correctly, but I was wrong.

So I tested it with "exim -brw my.site.domain.foo\!test", and thought, it
would work correctly, but I was wrong.

It never rewrote the address correctly, instead of it it produced only as
address "my.site.domain.foo!test@???".

Exim is configured to allow unqualified addresses.

At the moment I have no clue, what is wrong and why. If anybody knows why, I
would appreciate his/her help.

Thanks a lot.
