Regarding this
"If, however, no significant deliveries are set up, Exim continues
processing the current address as if there were no filter file, and
typically sets up a delivery of a copy of the message into a local
mailbox. In particular, this happens in the special case of a filter
file containing only comments."
....
my perlscript ie. pipe will take care of all mail and I don't want
any deliveries scheduled after my filter has finished.
my perlscript uses Mail::Audit to archive the message content into
the appropriate mail folder and I don't need the filter to deliver
mail after that has happened. ie. the perlscript has a catch all as
well.
So how can you tell the filter file to not schedule any deliveries?
so if my .forward file looks like this
# Exim filter
if error_message then finish endif
pipe $home/perlscripts/filter.pl
#mail subject "message discarded"
finish
will it try to make any significant delivery?
