re: return a message to sender.

I misspoke. Historically we have refused UCE at SMTP time based on several
criteria and that is our intent here - refuse it with a message that we
have quarantined their mail. But to keep clients off my back, I am going
to give them a copy (well some of it).

I dropped the remove_header back in the works just to see if I had
overlooked that. Same results and if you note the headers below, you will
see that the "X-Redirect-To: pex" is still there. This might be a clue as
to what is happening. And I noticed in the resulting bounce that I did
not have the other "Redirect" header I had added, so I wondered if perhaps
something was out of kilter because I used the "Redirect." I added an
"X-Bruce" header and it does not show (full headers below). Anomalies
like this cause me to wonder if this router is working at all.

So then I changed the condition a bit so I could test it using the -bt
option. Like so:

scan_redirect:
      driver = redirect
      #condition = ${if def:h_X-Redirect-To: {1}{0}}
      condition = ${if eq{$original_local_part}{bcornett} {1}{0}}
      #headers_add = X-Redirect: pex.$original_local_part@$original_domain
      #data = $h_X-Redirect:
      headers_add = X-Bruce: whatever
      data = pex.bcornett@???
      headers_remove = X-Redirect-To
   redirect_router = domainlist
   # no_verify


This is the command line result:

$ exim4 -bt brucec@???
brucec@??? is undeliverable:
Unrouteable address

But it may still be in some sort of loop. But it is not clear to me where.

      data = pex.bcornett@???
      headers_remove = X-Redirect-To
   redirect_router = system_aliases
    # no_verify
----------------------------------------------------
system_aliases:
   driver = redirect
   allow_fail
   allow_defer
   data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
   file_transport = address_file
