Betreff: [exim] Question on expansion behaviour in DATA ACL
Hello,

my brain is twisted as I tried all day to stop accepting mails with a
subject matching "Fw: ${local_part}_report.pdf" as I face an unwanted
wave of those mails.

As $local_part isn't available in system filters, I tried to workaround
this by storing a "suspicious" subject after RCPT TO and comparing it
with the subject after the DATA command:

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
...
begin acl
...
acl_check_rcpt:

  accept  hosts         = +relay_from_hosts
          control       = submission
          set acl_c0    = Fw: ${local_part}_report.pdf



acl_check_data:

  deny condition = ${if eq {$header_subject}{$acl_c0} {1}{0}}
       message   = Bad Subject $header_subject


 6287 processing "accept"
 6287 check hosts = +relay_from_hosts
 6287 check control = submission
 6287 expanding: Fw: ${local_part}_report.pdf
 6287    result: Fw: marco_report.pdf
 6287 check set acl_c0 = Fw: ${local_part}_report.pdf
 6287                  = Fw: marco_report.pdf
 6287 accept: condition test succeeded
 ...
 6287 using ACL "acl_check_data"
 6287 processing "deny"
 6287 expanding: $header_subject}{$acl_c0} {1
 6287    result:  {1
 6287 expanding: 0
 6287    result: 0
 6287 condition: eq {$header_subject}{$acl_c0} {1}{0}
 6287    result: false
 6287 expanding: ${if eq {$header_subject}{$acl_c0} {1}{0}}
 6287    result:
 6287 check condition = ${if eq {$header_subject}{$acl_c0} {1}{0}}
 6287                 =
 6287 deny: condition test failed


What did I miss? The expansion in the DATA acl looks... strange? I tried
with exim 4.63 and 4.67, either versions work the same.

Thanks for any hint.

Kind regards
