Sujet: [exim] Match_address matches domain - should it?
Hello,

Using exim 4.80 it seems that the 'match_address' condition will match
against just the domain part if necessary:

============================
exim -be '${if
match_address{jh@???}{jh@???}{true}{false}}'
true

exim -be '${if match_address{jh@???}{foo.abc.com}{true}{false}}'
true

exim -be '${if match_domain{jh@???}{foo.abc.com}{true}{false}}'
false

exim -be '${if
match_domain{${domain:jh@???}}{foo.abc.com}{true}{false}}'
true
============================

My understanding was that match_address would match against the whole
address, not just the domain part.
As expected, the match_domain condition fails unless the domain part of
the address is used.

My question is whether match_address is supposed to match against only
the domain or should it be checking against just the whole address?

The manual does not mention that only the domain may match.




John.
