Exim 4.10
I tried to use the :FAIL: in an alias file as one of my virtual domains
will shortly be no more.
The alias file had as a test alias :-
j.linn: :fail: norcol.ac.uk is no longer in use. Use j.linn@???
which is picked up in
virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
using exim -bh gave
>>> calling virtual_aliases router
>>> virtual_aliases router forced address failure
>>> ----------- end verify ------------
>>> accept: condition test failed
>>> accept: endpass encountered - denying access
550 unknown user
LOG: H=fkccs.abdn.ac.uk (abdn.a.cuk) [139.133.7.9] F=<j.linn@???>
rejected RCPT j.linn@???: norcol.ac.uk is no longer in use. Use
j.linn@???
Which looks like the message is not sent on the 550 but just logged. This was
confirmed by looking at the SMTP transfer.
SMTP: "550 unknown user\r\n"
What am I missing?
