Subject: [Exim] Bug? domain literals on command-line
While testing for an open mail relay, I came accross the following
problem:

Exim is configured to accept domain-literals. A mail using this form is
accepted via SMTP. But when being passed back form the virus-scanner
(amavis), the mail cannot be delivered.

Reason for this is exim does not accept a command-line in the form
exim -f 'user@[ip]'.

Bug or feature?

Logfile:

/etc/exim# sendmail -d+all -f mack@???
