As asked from Jeremy Harris <jgh@???>, I am sending some log
lines and part of /etc/aliases.
I sent 2 messages to the list I'm on.
On the first message I put myself in the Bcc field (that's what I
usually do)
2023-11-06 16:30:38 *1r05Is-003wbk-2b* <= lf@???
<mailto:lf@ele.puc-rio.br> H=x.xx.xxx ([127.0.0.1]) [My.ip.addr]
P=esmtpsa X=TLS1.3:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128 CV=no
A=dovecot_plain:lf S=978
id=dcf6f987-3539-4e7d-9e3b-74a53d8e26fd@??? T="#TESTE#"
from <lf@???> fot the_list@??? *lf@???
*And received the message (once):
2023-11-06 16:30:38 1r05Is-003wbk-2b => lf <the_list@???>
F=<lf@???> R=localuser T=local_delivery S=1117 QT=0s DT=0s
After, I sent a second test message without Bcc
2023-11-06 16:36:15 *1r05OJ-003wv4-1V* <= lf@???
H=x.xx.xxxr ([127.0.0.1]) [My.ip.address] P=esmtpsa
X=TLS1.3:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128 CV=no A=dovecot_plain:lf S=3738
id=855a0d8e-b64b-4f94-8215-9874b36633ba@??? T="Fwd:
#TESTE 2#" from <lf@???> for the_list@???
And received the message (once) as well:
2023-11-06 16:36:15 *1r05OJ-003wv4-1V* => lf
<the_list@???> F=<lf@???> R=localuser
T=local_delivery S=3857 QT=0s DT=0s
Then indeed exim seems to be sending the message to me as a member of
the list. On the other hand, it seems that exim is ignoring my email
being in the Bcc field, otherwise I would have received 2 copies of the
message: one for being on the list, and a second copy as being on the
Bcc field. I checked in my /var/spool/mail/lf/Maildir/cur and there is
only one copy of the message.
And the exim.conf part that handles /etc/aliases is
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
What's going on? Can you help?
Thank you.
