Happy Christmas to all!
I've seen some discussions about Exim 4.64, although I seem to have
missed the release announcement....
I downloaded and compiled it for testing. Immediately I saw some two
problems with expansions, which never appeared with 4.63:
Case 1::
With 4.64:
7$ ./Administration/Exim/4.64/exim-4.64/build-FreeBSD-i386/exim -be '${if >{$acl_c0}{4}{1}{0}}'
Failed: integer expected but "" found
With 4.63:
8$ exim -be '${if >{$acl_c0}{4}{1}{0}}'
0
I am not sure why exim-4.64 is complaining on the above ......
Case 2::
With 4.64 (expansion tested inside singe quotes):
10$ ./Administration/Exim/4.64/exim-4.64/build-FreeBSD-i386/exim -be '${if and {{!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:}{!def:h_X-FILTER-DSPAM:}{!eq {$received_pr
otocol}{dspam-scanned}}{!eq {$received_protocol}{local}}{!eq {$sender_address_domain}{$domain}}{ <= {$message_size}{512k}}}{1}{0}}'
1
However, what prompted me to test the condition is that exim-4.64
was barfing about this very condition severally in the logs:
2006-12-25 12:13:53 1Gylu5-000Pba-CH failed to expand condition "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!def:h_X-FILTER-DSPAM:} {!eq {$received_protoc
ol}{dspam-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} {!eq {$sender_address_domain}{$domain}} { <= {$message_size}{512k}} }{1}{0}}" for dspam_rou
ter router: integer expected but "" found inside "and{...}" condition
Exim-4.63 never barfed at all about this. After looking closely I
found that I had enclosed the condition inside double quotes. It would
appear that if an expansion is put inside double quotes in the configure
file, exim-4.64 does NOT treat it the same as when it is not quoted at
all... otherwise how do I explain the barfs against the 'exim -be'
testing on the command line?
