Hrm.. One of two things. Your line beginning with LOCAL or SMTP is
coming back and is violating RFC822.. Or perhaps because wherever echo
is isn't in the PATH that is defined at the time this is called.. Its
also possible exim isnt doing shell interpretation and your "|" pipes
arent working...
I would replace them with
transport_filter="/usr/local/bin/log-transport SMTP $host\
$host_address $sender_address $pipe_addresses"
and
transport_filter="/usr/local/bin/log-transport LOCAL $host\
$host_address $sender_address $pipe_addresses"
where log-transport looks something like the following:
----------SNIP-------------
#!/bin/sh
TMP=/tmp/$PID
# (Or whatever convention you use for temporary files)
cat > $TMP
(
echo "EXIM TRANSPORT LOG $*"
cat $TMP
) > /tmp/log
cat $TMP
rm $TMP
----------SNIP-------------
This gets you using a fully-qualified path for the calls, moves the
shell syntax into a script that definately will get parsed by the
shell, and prevents outputting your "SMTP" and "LOCAL" lines back to
Exim (which is expecting only RFC822 compliant output)
