           Summary: Bad description of $message_size availability in the
                    docs
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.69
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: exim-users@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

On http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch11.html when
describing $message_size it states:

"While running an ACL at the time of an SMTP RCPT command, $message_size
contains the size supplied on the MAIL command, or -1 if no size was given. The
value may not, of course, be truthful."

The value of $message_size first becomes available in the mail ACL, not the
rcpt ACL, when the SIZE extension is in use.

Perhaps the documentation should state:

"While running a per message ACL (mail/rcpt/predata)"

Rather than:

"While running an ACL at the time of an SMTP MAIL command"
