Autor: Todd Lyons Datum: To: exim-dev Betreff: Re: [exim-dev] header checks not working in acl_smtp_data acl
I found what may be a bug, or what may be intended based on the data I
was submitting to exim via smtp. I thought I would present what I was
doing, then let you guys judge the outcome.

It wasn't valid. I had just grabbed an email out of
/var/spool/mail/root and was just pasting it, headers and body. Read

After experimenting with many things, I was able to stumble upon a
solution. The very first line of the email I was pasting in was:
From tlyons@??? Mon Jan 21 00:34:02 2008
If I omit that line, header variable expansion works as expected.
So my question is if there is any kind of known scenario that a
leading From line is _supposed_ to prevent header expansion
($h_HEADER:) or if this is a bug? Or is a leading From line
indicative of something else?
