Assumpte: [exim] weird syntax problem for a filter
I have a filter that looks like this that was creating problems....
--------------
# Exim filter

if error_message then finish endif

if
$header_to: contains "-group@"
then
save "/home/path/test/$message_id" 644
pipe "/home/path/test/script.php $message_id"
endif
--------------

after an hour or two.. I finally figured out what the problem was. I
had originally thought the problem to be with my script but it was
with the filter.
The problem itself was that the file I needed from 'save' needed to be
before 'pipe' .. (the script would then read the saved file..)

to resolve the issue, I changed the order of save/pipe:
--------------
pipe "/home/path/test/script.php $message_id"
save "/home/path/test/$message_id" 644
--------------

I looked on the bugzilla to see if there was anything about this.. but
didn't find much..
is there something in the documentation that I missed?
