Basic configuration for Exim that should trigger a silent fail/ignore of router
condition

If I construct a router and give it a condition with more back-curly-braces
than forward-curly-braces then Exim ignores that condition (assumes condition
succeeds) without any warning or failure.

e.g.

    dnslookup:
      driver = dnslookup
      condition = ${if eq {${lc:$domain}} {google.com}} {yes} {no}}
      transport = remote_smtp


If I test this with a condition that SHOULD fail (test@???):

    # exim -C test2.conf -d -bt test@???
    Considering test@???
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    routing test@???
    --------> dnslookup router <--------
    checking "condition"
    calling dnslookup router


However if I fix my condition line with correct brace balance:

      condition = ${if eq {${lc:$domain}} {google.com} {yes} {no}}


and re-test:

    # exim -C test2.conf -d -bt test@???
    Considering test@???
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    routing test@???
    --------> dnslookup router <--------
    checking "condition"
    dnslookup router skipped: condition failure


This is correct behaviour.

Note that the silent fail also occurs with the following condition lines:

      condition = ${if eq {${lc:$domain}} {google.com}}}} {yes} {no}}


and

      condition = ${if eq {${lc:$domain}} {google.com} {yes} {no}} \
        }


Pretty dangerous consider that users may never discover this issue unless a
customer complains e-mail is never being delivered!

I think silent fails are severe and am proposing this has a priority of high. I
know that, as a system administrator, this has the potential to cause major
trouble.

Attaching test2.conf - a basic configuration to trigger this error.
