Temat: Re: [exim] weird syntax problem for a filter
Interesting.. do you have any suggestions on making it 'safe' then ?
I could create a queue to hold the msg-id's then check for the file's
existence...

but I am still a little confused, why would I be able to read the file
before I actually call the save command (note to get it working I call
the pipe command before I call the save command)? doesn't that seem a
little too strange (or completely illogical for that matter..) ?
what I am saying is:
the pipe command is called first, but the save command has
theoretically not even be interpreted yet, so it executes first. yet
the file which is generated from the save command is magically already
there..

or, by the above you mean the 'delivery' is actually the commands I'm calling ?
