Re: exim and perl filter

which works but changes the address of internal mail as well.
Can anyone see any problems with this code. I don't know much
about perl and was wondering if the code contained any obvious
(to perl coders) errors.
It gives the following when I source ( . /usr/local/bin/mail-filter )
From what I can remember, the article in LG never tells you to do that.
This filter is used by Exim, not by Mutt. Exim catches outgoing mail to
non-local hosts, and filters them through the script. Mutt has nothing to
do with it.
-- bash: =: command not found
-- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: syntax error near
unexpected token `while(<>){'
-- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: `while(<>){'
That's bash complaining, not Mutt, nor Exim. You don't use 'source' on the
script within Mutt or from the shell. Exim runs and uses the script. (if
you're not using Mutt's source command, or the I might be confused).
Have you restarted Exim for the changes to the config file to take effect?
With regards to this error:
ulla.russell@pp.inet.fi:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
<irvine@hampaita.fi> SIZE=1412:
host mail.inet.fi [192.54.155.189]:
553 hampaita.fi does not exist
It seems as though it's the servers on the ISP side are rejecting the
message because hampaita.fi doesn't exist (maybe obvious, but I'm waffling
anyway so I may as well say it). If hampaita.fi is the domain that's in the
From: header of your outgoing messages without the Perl script, then maybe
you haven't restarted Exim.
I can't think of anything else; when I followed the instructions in LG 32
(IIRC; maybe it was 42 or 43... there's a revised version in the issue
after) I had no problems with it; worked fine.
Let me know how you get on and what the problem was.
HTH,
Kris
