I seem to be missing some key point. With this ~drm/.forward file:
# Exim filter
if error_message then seen finish endif
#
if $reply_address matches .*campus\.edu\$
then
unseen deliver mathog@???
seen finish
else
unseen finish
endif
Here is the command line test:
% /usr/exim/bin/exim -bf .forward -f mathog@??? < test_message
Warning: no message headers read
Return-path copied from sender
Sender = mathog@???
Recipient = drm@???
Testing Exim filter file ".forward"
Unseen deliver message to: mathog@???
Seen finish
Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
No other deliveries will occur.
However, when I actually send mail from mathog@??? to
drm@??? no forwarding back to the designated address occurs. A
copy is saved in /var/mail/drm though, so at least that part of the
delivery works. Watching this with eximon shows no
attempt by exim to forward mail to the designated target.
When the command line test is changed to -f "foobar.edu" it indicates
that nothing should be delivered, which is as desired.
So why does the command line test (the -f "campus.edu" one) say one
thing, and the actual exim delivery do another?
This is exim 4.63 on Solaris 8.
