Hi,
The error message seems pretty clear: you can't use the *recipients* condition
within an *acl_smtp_data* ACL. I assume this is because the recipients
condition tests the recipient currently being considered against the list.
However by the time you've got to an acl_smtp_data ACL there is no longer a
single current recipient; instead you've got the whole lot.
If that's right and I remember rightly, the $recipients variable can be
used in acl_smtp_data and contains a list of all the recipient addresses
form the envelope data, separated from each other with a comma and a space.
You can presumably iterate over this using *forany*, or might be able to do
something clever with *inlist* or *inlisti* instead.
A couple of other things to watch out for:
- Note that the *Specification* says it isn't possible to discard *some*
recipients in acl_smtp_data: you have to accept or reject the entire
message to *all* its recipients. So be aware that if a matching message
is sent to <recipient 1> and <recipient 3> then neither well receive it
(because your test says that <recipient 1> mustn't be sent it).
- Also watch out that the match operator's second argument is a *regular
expression* and is a *pattern*. In your example you don't tie the
pattern to the start and/or end of the expression, meaning it will match
with "Commit" anywhere in the Subject text — or example, "Shall I Commit To
This?" Are you intending this behaviour, or were you intending only to
match if the Subject text is exactly that string? (in which case use *eq*
or *eqi* instead of *match*)
Cheers,
Mike B-)
