i think i'm going nuts.
i'm trying to use filters for the first time; we have an external person
harrassing one of our employees from a hotmail account, and i'm trying to
set up a filter to spot all such addresses and forward them onto our HR
person instead of to the original target.
my filter file looks like what i think it should from the examples, but i'm
getting errors that i'm not sure i follow. here is the basic filter (with
some email addresses changed to protect the innocent and the guilty both):
if $h_from: contains "badperson@???"
then
deliver "hrperson@???"
else
deliver "$local_part@???"
endif
the theory is to pick out the problem messages and send the rest onward.
when i test it with -bf, i get the following results:
# ./exim -bf /tmp/exim-filter
From: badperson@???
To: normalperson@???
Subject: Foo!
exim: error in forward file: missing or malformed local part (expected word
or "<") in "if $h_from: contains "schoolboy29@???""
what have i missed?
thanks,
richard
