Subject: [Exim] filter: how do I match locally generated mails?
Hi everybody,
I'm using exim 3.35 with the system filter.
How could I detect mails that were generated by the local host?
I tried something like
if $sender_host_name is "localhost"
which didn't work.
In the mail headers, it says:
Received from root by my.mail.server ...
So I also tried
if $sender_host_name is "root"
Surprisingly, it worked. But I'm sure, there's a better way to do this
(and also catch mails generated by other local accounts).
Thanks for your help,
Martin
