Betreff: [Exim] argh - more frustration
I have been trying to RTFM, so excuse the level of frustration that may show
through, from trying 12 different ways of doing this.

The situation:

I have an alias file and a number of mail lists in addition to normal user
deliveries. The alias file can contain a wildcard entry to forward unknown
addresses to somewhere useful. To avoid problems with precedence and the
like, I do this:

1. aliasfile with "lsearch"
...
2. list files
...
3. aliasfile with "lsearch*" to catch the missing stuff.

In the list files bit, I use the "senders" condition to check if the send is
in either the list alias file or one or more "all-post" files - for closed
lists this is. If the sender check fails, the mail drops through and then
gets matched against the wildcard in the alias file and no error to the
sender.

Is there *any* way to fail an address if and only if the director is run due
to matching a condition that is not "senders" ? My understanding is that the
director is only run if require_files, condition etc. *and* senders is true.
What I would like is a run-but-fail-condition-is-false check - anything like
this I have missed ?

Regards,
