Works here on fractional email addresses (FreeBSD 6.X, euid of 0)
So ... what user are you running each as?
I *suspect* that:
- you are NOT 'root'
- your 'grep' binary has execute privileges for all users & read-acess to the
~/rejectlog file
- your 'exigrep' binary may not have (both) for the euid you are invoking it as...
Can you try it as 'sudo exigrep jnatola /var/log/exim/rejectlog'. ELSE su to
'root', and/or change the perms?
HTH,
