Subject: [EXIM] Using 'mail' from the system message filter
Hello. I'm using Exim 1.82.

When I try to do a 'mail' from the system filter (e.g. in response to
rejected incoming spam), I get:

    LOG: 1 MAIN
      original recipients ignored (message_filter)
    LOG: 0 MAIN PANIC
      The address_reply transport has not set a uid for local delivery of
    >some.spam.address


This, despite the fact that I have in the configuration file:

    message_filter_user = exim
    message_filter_group = exim


If I try to add "user = exim" to the address_reply transport, then all
the user filter files try to use this as well and start failing (namely,
"vacation" that needs to update the 'once' database in their home directories).

Any ideas how I can get around this problem?

Ephraim
