One more question regarding this setup. I have a system filter that
makes a backup of all messages:
# Exim filter
# Ignore error messages
if error_message then finish endif
# Copy if this is the first delivery attempt
if first_delivery then
unseen deliver backup@??? errors_to postmaster@???
endif
This backup copy does not contain the X-Warning: headers that get
assigned in my ACL if hosts are in the blacklist. Is there a way to
have this functionality occur after the X-Warning: header is added?
Presumably system filters are processed before the ACL. Do I need to
move the filter into the "data =" part of a router? What are the
ramifications of doing this?
Thanks.
