Hi all,
I'm having some trouble getting suppress_local_fixups to work with
batched smtp. I have a (presumably) fairly common setup for spam
checking with exim receiving messages and then feeding them back
to another exim process using spamc as a transport filter. They're
fed from one exim process to the other using batched smtp:
command = /usr/local/bin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -os 5m -bS
transport_filter = /usr/local/bin/spamc -x -U ...
use_bsmtp = true
During this process a Date header, amongst other things, is added
if it doesn't exist. Reading the docs it's my understanding that
using suppress_local_fixups will fix this. So I've added an acl:
acl_not_smtp_start = acl_not_smtp_start
acl_not_smtp_start:
accept control = suppress_local_fixups
This works fine for locally-generated messages, and when using
-d+acl it shows it doing so:
using ACL "acl_not_smtp_start"
processing "accept"
check control = suppress_local_fixups
However, if I add -bS to the command line it behaves differently
and says:
skipping ACL configuration - not needed
I'd be willing to believe this was a "feature" if it wasn't for the
following in the docs:
40.3 The non-SMTP ACLs
The non-SMTP ACLs apply to all non-interactive incoming
messages, that is, they apply to batched SMTP as well as
to non-SMTP messages.
So I must be missing something. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Tim.
