Assumpte: [Exim] Forced failure with a humble message
Hi,
I run Exim 3.22 here. We used to run another system which had 3.16 and
while handling virtual domains, we'd setup the system to send a failure
message that was comprehensible to the sender. The alias was:


virtualdomain:        :fail: The recipient "$orginal_local_part" does not\
             exist in "$original_domain" domain.


This doesn't seem to work on a test machine where I have 3.22
In a scenario where I handle mail for domainX I'd have mail for specified
users directed to a mailbox or some other address:

wash@domainX:    somemailbox
wash2@domainX:    somemailbox
*@domainX:    virtualdomain


So if someone sends mail to philip@domainX, I'd expect a failure message
saying

forced failure: The recipient "philip" does not exist in "domainX" domain.

At present, 3.22 would just say forced failure and quote the remaining
part of the message as it is.


Any clues as to why??


TIA

-Wash
