You mean that when I use a transport filter I can't use sed anyways?
I set up a transport filter (using sed...) and when i do 'cat file|
exim.transportf' it gives the right output...
But how do i get that back to exim to send it away? When i try it this way,
it says 'broken pipe'.

If I can't use sed, what should I use instead to change the content of the
message?
