What am I missing here?
Alright, that didn't make sense. I wasn't thinking straight.
The mail should *not* be failed by this router, and in fact it isn't.
Instead, routing is passed on, and in a later router the mail is
redirected to martijn@???, which is then routed from the start. This
domain is not in +spam_domains, so the bounce_spam router handles the
message and bounces it.
I see that now :-)
So, what I actually want, is that the "bounce_spam" router only acts on
addresses that are not the result of another redirect router. Is there a
way of saying that? I haven't looked for it in the docs. Will do that
now, but hints are welcome, of course.
Thanks,
Martijn.
