Subject: [Exim] Problems with the pipe_transport
Hello,
I have the following Problem: I set up an alias that expands into
a pipe, which under certain circumstances sends a new mail to its
maintainer. This mail is always generated with a broken EHLO and
MAIL FROM line. The hostname is missing (i.e. EHLO .meta-list.net
and MAIL FROM:<foo@.meta-list.net>). Since this only happens when
the mail is generated in an alias, I suspect that either my pipe_
transport or my aliasfile director is broken somehow. Here is
my pipe_transport:

---
robot_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_output
user = mail

---
and my aliasfile director

robot_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /coda/share/robot_aliases
search_type = lsearch
prefix = "bounce-"
prefix_optional = true
user = mail
pipe_transport = robot_pipe

---
and what 'exim -bd -d9' says.

SMTP<< EHLO .meta-list.net
sender_fullhost = m11 (.meta-list.net) [62.157.134.19]
sender_rcvhost = m11
        ([62.157.134.19] helo=.meta-list.net ident=8)
set_process_info: 13810 3.02 handling incoming connection from m11 (.meta-list.net) [62.157.134.19]
250-m11.meta-list.net Hello 8 at m11 [62.157.134.19]
250-SIZE
250-8BITMIME
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP
SMTP<< MAIL FROM:<robot@.meta-list.net>
501 <robot@.meta-list.net>: domain missing or malformed

Could somebody please give me a hint?


thank you,
