This has been discussed on the list several times, I think. The
"message" qualifier in the ACL overrides. This text was added to the
4.10 documentation:
If "message" is used on a statement that verifies an address, the message |
specified overrides any message that is generated by the verification |
process. However, the original message is available in the variable |
$acl_verify_message, so you can incorporate it into your message if you |
wish. In particular, if you want the text from ":fail:" items in redirect |
routers to be passed back as part of the SMTP response, you should either |
not use a "message" modifier, or make use of $acl_verify_message. |
|
If "message" is used with "warn", it causes a header line to be added an |
incoming message; for non-message ACLs, it has no effect with "warn". |
