Hi List,

some curious problem, with my vacation .forward exim stuff:

pretty easy (if personal removed) .forward

---
# Exim filter
# Autoresponder
mail
to $reply_address
#to mad@???
subject "Re: ${substr{0}{20}{$header_subject:}}..."
file $home/vacation/message
once $home/vacation/once
log $home/vacation/log
---

with that "to" line enabled i get:

gtest@??? -> invalid-to-line
  transport = address_file
gtest@???
    <-- gtest@???
  router = localmdiruser, transport = local_md_delivery


and something like this in my log:
== invalid-to-line <gtest@???> R=userforward T=address_file
defer (-1): Mandatory file or directory option missing from address_file
transport

what kind of file? Debug looks like this:
exim -bt gtest@???
...

with the second "to" line enabled:
gtest@??? -> mail mad@???
  transport = address_reply
gtest@???
    <-- gtest@???
  router = localmdiruser, transport = local_md_delivery


everything looks fine.

This homedir (also .forward) is shared via NFS to 2 Exim Stores with
some different exim versions and configs:

1st:
09:51:52 3392 Exim version 4.34 uid=2412 gid=143 pid=3392 D=ffffffff
Probably ndbm
Support for: iconv() PAM TCPwrappers OpenSSL
Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb
dsearch mysql nisplus passwd
Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext
Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect
Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp
Fixed never_users: 0

.forward is working completely!

2nd:
09:52:35 5826 Exim version 4.60 uid=0 gid=1 pid=5826 D=fffdffff
Probably ndbm
Support for: crypteq iconv() PAM TCPwrappers OpenSSL Content_Scanning
Old_Demime
Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb
dsearch nisplus passwd
Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext
Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect
Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp
Fixed never_users: 0

.forward is NOT working, as described above.

Any help is appreciated,

regards Martin
