Hi folks,

I'm aware that this has been hashed over somewhat in the past, when
David Walker said "I think this must be something to do with the v3
upgrade, but what am I doing wrong?" and Philip Hazel noted that
message_filter_reply_transport needed to be defined, but I seem to
be in need of a bit more guidance than that. ;)

I've got an entry in my filters file that looks like this:

if $header_Subject contains "sample airfare" then
mail from specials@??? expand file /etc/exim/airfare.msg
seen finish
endif

My configure file contains the following things (among others, of course):

In the main part:
message_filter = /etc/exim/filters
message_filter_reply_transport = address_reply

In transports:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
address_reply:
driver = autoreply

In directors:
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
file = .forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor

In routers:
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp

Fetchmail snags mail off the MX for insider.cheaptickets.com, and
tosses it to Exim on my box, which reports things like this (lines
broken to be nice):

I'm a bit curious as to whether there are other things I need to set, or
whether I need to modify my current settings, etc. I can, of course,
provide more of my filters or configure files (up to and including the
whole things) if needed, but didn't want to waste too much bandwidth in
asking the original question. :)

Thanks,

-Dan
