Subject: [EXIM] Aliasfiles, an interesting change...
I've been pondering[1]

As to why an aliasfile entry which was working a dream suddenly
starting barfing after an upgrade to 2.05

--[ aliasfile ]--
*    :fail: Nothing here, move along
--[ aliasfile ]--


Used to work a dream but suddenly started tossing the following out.

weasel:/home/mark# exim -bt foo@???
foo@??? cannot be resolved at this time:
<foo@???> - error in alias file
/usr/exim/virtual/db/aliases.vom.tm.db: missing or malformed local
part (expected word or "<") in "fail: "Nothing here, move along""

I've found the solution,

--[ aliasfile ]--
*:    :fail: Nothing here, move along
--[ aliasfile ]--


and everything is fluffy again, is this a known change or has
something odd happened?

[1] Pinky: what have you been pondering about brain?[2]
[2] I blame too little sleep and a bad weekend, where's the beer?
