Hi all,
The Exim documentation says:
"If any condition on a warn statement cannot be completed (that is, there
is some sort of defer), the log line specified by log_message is not
written After a defer, no further conditions or modifiers in the warn
statement are processed. The incident is logged, and the ACL continues to
be processed, from the next statement onwards."

It's very useful to have at least one way to execute a condition that
might defer, without deferring the message. For example, I used it to
implement our backup MX:
<

However it doesn't seem to work in this case:
# check WHOIS for domains registered by Communicado Ltd
warn set acl_m_whois = ${run {/usr/bin/whois $sender_address_domain}}
defer
condition = ${if match {$acl_m_whois} {Company number: 3709008}}
message = Local blacklist of Communicado Limited's domains
(by the way, these guys are spewing spam at a rate of knots, this is a
very effective check when it works)

F=<rod.......@fastmail.fm> temporarily rejected RCPT
<tom.......@aptivate.org>:
failed to expand ACL string "${run {/usr/bin/whois
$sender_address_domain}}": command timed out
So why is it tempfailing the message? And is there any other way to avoid
a tempfail on a condition that results in a defer?
Cheers, Chris.
