Or write a separate script to filter the messages, either before sending
them on to Exim or after Exim receives them. (This might be necessary
if you can't modify the case tracker.) Exim's filtering language is
really nice and a great tool for rejecting viruses or sorting list mail,
but it's not a panacea -- and it's certainly not a general-purpose
programming language. Python and Perl both have good libraries for
parsing and dealing with email.
