In the acl_smtp_mime ACL section of my Exim config file I have an ACL to
deny foreign language e-mails.
The following worked fine:
deny condition = ${if match {${lc:$mime_charset}}
\
{\N(iso-2022-jp|windows-1251|big5|big-5)\N}}
message = E-mail from Internet not in
english ($mime_charset), F=$sender_address - deny!
with the message being written to the mainlog file.
I then changed 'deny' to 'discard' as follows:
discard condition = ${if match {${lc:$mime_charset}}
\
{\N(iso-2022-jp|windows-1251|big5|big-5)\N}}
message = E-mail from Internet not in
english ($mime_charset), F=$sender_address - discard!
and found that, although the e-mails seemed to be discarded OK, there
was no message in the mainlog file.
I then experimented and changed 'message' to 'logwrite' as follows:
discard condition = ${if match {${lc:$mime_charset}}
\
{\N(iso-2022-jp|windows-1251|big5|big-5)\N}}
logwrite = E-mail from Internet not in
english ($mime_charset), F=$sender_address - discard!
and found that the message was then written OK to the mainlog file.
Is this something stupid I am doing or a bug?
