Re: Problem with exim rewriting rule
I am doing my rewrites this way:
vamp@dreamland csthf99@alumni.ust.hk Ffr
csthf99@alumni.ust.hk "${if eq {$sender_address}{} {vamp@localhost}fail}" Tt
And I don't have the problem (mail delivered to vamp@[myip] is ok)
Fetchmail works too.
I guess the b and c are for CC and BCC (need to look-up the docs for
that) and should not matter, but well, perhaps it does.
(The second line is there so delivery failures don't go out,
and shouldn't affect normal mails too.)
