RE: [Exim] Re: Passing Environment Variables to a pipe

Ok. I did some checking and TMDA works great if I don't use procmail.
But sorting over 500 messages a day manually is not an option. There has
to be a way to make the environment variables pass across to procmail
and then to TMDA?

Help!?

Thanks!

Hi guys

If I could add some further info here. Kirill Dan is trying to get Exim,
Procmail and TMDA working together. I didn't answer earlier because I
don't
use Procmail but I have sucessfully got Exim 4 & TMDA to work together -
and Dan I agree there is not much info on the combination yet :-)

Some points:

* Dan got his environment setting from TMDA website setting for Exim but
he did
mistype one part missing a $. But my setup below, using same environment
setting from website works fine.
* I am interested to clarify this (also because there is not that much
info on
using Exim 4 with TMDA) the Exim spec doc says that environment is a
string
which is expanded to colon separated list of values so shouldn't mine
below be
OK? It is working correctly.

Dan why don't you try out Exim -> TMDA functionality without procmail to
see
if it works OK then plug procmail back in? Can't help you on the
procmail side
but happy to help with Exim/TMDA.

Cheers

  environment = EXTENSION=${substr_1:$local_part_suffix}:\
