Philip,

No, I am not seeing anything in the logs.

Using your initial example:

bash-2.03# /usr/local/exim/bin/exim -be
> ${readsocket{/non/exist}{abcd}{5s}{\n}{socket-error}}

socket-error
> ${readsocket{/non/exist}{abcd}{5s}{\n}}

Failed: failed to connect to socket /non/exist: No such file or directory
>


it looks like if I provide an error expansion string {socket-error}, that
it doesn't generate the error. If I don't provide the error expansion
string (so that I'll get the error) how can I tell (in the code) if the
readsocket is failing?



Please respond to exim-users@???

Sorry. I should have been more explicit. I meant a C variable, not an
Exim variable. But, as I said,

You should see something on the log when an ACL fails because of a
failing expansion error. Do you not see anything?
