I need to have some dynamic data (out of a database) be used in the system filter. I cant seem to find any variables that will pass data between exim and the system filter. So I added a header under the router that runs when the system filter runs
reply_handler:
driver = accept
domains = *
local_part_prefix = itreply-
headers_add = X-Temp-Sendto: ${lookup pgsql{select mail_from from campaigns where campaignid = split_part('$local_part','-',1)}}
transport = reply_handler_pipe
The 'reply_handler_pipe' goes to a python script that tracks replies, the system filter is to forward on the reply.
here is the system filter...
if
$h_to: contains "itreply"
then
unseen deliver $h_X-Temp-Sendto
endif
this is what i get when it runs the filter
20390 2003-09-17 16:35:27 19zj1L-0005Iq-R4 Error in system filter: malformed address "" in filter file: empty address
and if i put a static address in the filter, the X-Temp-Sendto header is not added even though it shows this in the debug
Any insight on why its not adding a header where the system filter can read it? Also if there are a set of variables that allows data between exim and the system.filter or the ability to use SQL in the system filter.
