exigrep is just a perl script with it's handling of compressed files based
on what you set in Local/Makefile when you built exim:
[snip]
foreach (@ARGV)
{
my $filename = $_;
if ($filename =~ /\.(?:bz2)$/)
{
open(LOG, "/usr/bin/bzcat $filename |") ||
die "Unable to zcat $filename: $!\n";
}
else
[snip]
Which is based on my setting:
COMPRESS_COMMAND=/usr/bin/bzip2
COMPRESS_SUFFIX=bz2
ZCAT_COMMAND=/usr/bin/bzcat
in my Local/Makefile. Perhaps your ZCAT_COMMAND was set to something other
than zcat/gzcat?
