The first line of this script is:
#! /usr/bin/env python
Which is a recommended method of starting the python interpreter.
I have tried changing the "command" line in the pipe transport in my
exim.conf file to
command = "/usr/bin/python \
/usr/local/lib/pyscan/pyscan.py \
-f<$sender_address> \
$pipe_addresses"
I still get the error:
------ o'reiley@??? ------
sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
It seems the python interpreter does not like what exim is sending
it. I am not sure which one generates the error message. Either way
there does not seem to be an easy solution.
I am looking at some work arounds:
The easiest seems to be to use "envelope_to_add" to save a copy of
the destination addresses in the message and then parsing them out
with the scanning script.
An early version of "exiscan" used a "queue only" option on exim and
the command "exim -Mc <message-id>" to deliver individual messages.
Would this break exim's standard retry behaviour? What about it's
behaviour with "queue_only_load" and "deliver_queue_load_max"?
I have not looked at Exim 4. Is there anything in it which might make
this job easier?
Thanks
Ian
