Yes, but I didn't recall your stating that rsmtp was a symlink to Exim,
and I wanted to be sure.
I don't know anything about the exiscan patches, but I assume they
wouldn't affect this. However, you never know. Try this test:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ exim -bS <<End
> From: x@y
> End
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The output I get is as follows, and the return code is set to 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
500 Command unrecognized
Transaction started in line 0
Error detected in line 1
From: x@y
An error was detected while processing a file of BSMTP input.
The error message was:
500 Command unrecognized
The SMTP transaction started in line 0.
The error was detected in line 1.
The SMTP command at fault was:
From: x@y
0 previous messages were successfully processed.
The rest of the batch was abandoned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what it does for me. I guess you should also try with rsmtp.
If that doesn't work for you, I suggest compiling a new version of Exim
without the exiscan patches and see if that works. I can't think of
anything else to do.
