hi there

     I've got some problems with exim and pipes....
     ...i know that exim wants an uid and gid to execute pipes so.....



     i got an entry in /etc/aliases like this


     --snip--


     ftp:root
     webmaster:root
     user:
       driver = pipe
       user = $nobody
       group = $nogroup
       command = "|/usr/sbin/list user"


     --snap--



     if I send an email to user "user" exim writes the following log-entry:
     1999-06-23 13:19:45 10wl4D-0000uC-00 == user@??? D=system_aliases 
     defer (-18): <user@???> - error in alias file /etc/aliases: 
     missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<") in "driver = 
     pipe user = $nobody group = $nogroup command = "|/usr/sbin/list user""




     I know that this domain doesn't exist but my DNS know how to handle it 
     :))



     any ideas....



     thanx


     Stefan
