For info the original snippet I borrowed was from the archives for
this

Hi,
I upgraded from Exim 4.62 to 4.65 yesterday. At 08:00 today I started seeing an
issue.
from the mainlog
______________________________________________________________________
2007-01-03 08:00:02 H=xxxx.xxx.xx [62.XXX.213.17] F=<xxxx@???> temporarily
rejected RCPT <xxx@???>: failed to expand ACL string "${if and {
{ > {${if match{$tod_log}{\N^.{11}(\d\d)\N}{$1}}} {8}
} { < {${if
match{$tod_log}{\N^.{11}(\d\d)\N}{$1}}} {20} }
} {yes}{no}}": invalid integer "08" inside "and{...}" condition
_______________________________________________________________________
it seems as if "08" is how being interpreted (technically correctly) as a
invalid octal integer rather than a decimal integer. However the snippet in the
configure file causing this was borrowed from the web (I haven't got the
original URL to hand). I am concerned that other users who borrowed in a
similar way may see similar problems. For speed I have just downgraded back to
4.62. I suspect it is easy enough to change the configuration file fragment and
will look at it later today.
Cheers,
