Hi folks,

Can I rest assured that messages accepted and queued by an exim process
started as 'exim -bS -odq' will never be passed through the
message_filter?

The specification seems to suggest so:

    The system message filter operates in a similar manner to users'
    filter files, but it is run just once per message (however many
    recipients is has) at the start of a delivery attempt, before
    any routing or directing is done. If a message fails to be
    completely delivered at the first attempt, the filter is run
    again at the start of every retry.


I'm just not sure what constitutes "the start of a delivery attempt".

Ciao,
Sheldon.
