Sorry, you need to quote the expansions since they contain a space.
Yes, you can use any expansions in filters. Any place a filter takes a
string argument, you can use expansion items in that string. Just be sure
to quote them if they contain spaces. Also, any quoted strings need to
have backslashes in them doubled.

I tried that, but using "exim -oMa 127.0.0.1 -bf filter"
I get
Filter error: unrecognized condition word
"match_address{$sender_host_address}{$relay_from_hosts}{true}{false}}"
near line 7 of filter file

That gives
Filter error: "to" expected in "add" command near line 5 of filter file

Yeah, I was aware of that, I was confused about the use of the ${if}
statements within filters. So if I understand correctly, I can use any
of the expansions as described in section 11 of the exim specification
in a filter?
I'm running Exim version 4.43, instaled using an RPM from
