Hello,
Opinions and standards doesn't matter because it must be done.
The are more usages for MTAs than just Internet email relay and
these are 'software' communication over SMTP and those systems
need standard error codes in standard places. And those are
standardized also by other organizations than IETF and they
do not scan message body for error and doesn't understand
SMTP-error codes (not my fault..:)
I started thinking that I make custom transport/router for
bounce messages which scans original bounce for 5XX codes
and alter it with header_add -functions?
Any help for such filter/router/transport configuration?
error_template
--------------
Subject: blah blah blah
****
Cause of failure:
<errormsg>
****
(**** maybe need for additional section because 3rd is pipe transport error)
</errormsg>
So between <errormsg> and </errormsg> is the cause of failure which at least
in Perl would be easy to multilineregexp. But how about Exim regexp's and
filters?
Best regards, Jori Hämäläinen
