Thanks for the advice. I put a message into /tmp/test and did
exim -d p.a.chambers < /tmp/test >& /tmp/debug
Before bothering you with the result I had a look at the debug output and identified
the point at which the "system-filter" address appeared. (The system filter clearly
returns the correct address.) The problem turns out to be a hang-over from exim-3
in that a router is checking for "message filter" rather that "system-filter" in a
data expansion:
data = ${if eq {$original_local_part}{message filter}\
{$local_part}{$original_local_part}}@$original_domain
I changed "message filter" to "system-filter" and ran the test again and that has
fixed it.
I should have tried the debugging myself before bothering you, but hindsight is
always 100% is it not?
Thanks again,
Phil.
