Assumpte: [Exim] Fail command in filters: no mail sent back to the sender ???
Hello,

I have installed an exim filter which was given as an example somewhere,
which purpose is to reject emails messages containing an executable
attachment, given a set of executable filte extensions. The filter is
supposed to send a email back to the sender with an error message.
As expected, an email containing executable attachment is not delivered to
the recipient, but no email is being sent back to the sender : the email is
sent to the postmaster instead of the sender.
What can I do to get the message to be sent to the sender?

I get this message in the exim mainlog:

Here is the Exim Filter :

  then
    fail text "This message has been rejected because it has\n\
