I understand this. Maybe a try to explain by example where is my point:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# grep test-bv /etc/aliases
test-bv: darek,alamakota
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exim -bv alamakota
[EMAIL PROTECTED] failed to verify:
Unknown user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exim -bv darek
[EMAIL PROTECTED] verified
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exim -bv test-bv
[EMAIL PROTECTED] verified
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exim -v -bv test-bv
[EMAIL PROTECTED] failed to verify:
Unknown user
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
router = localuser_maildir, transport = ld_maildir
I think in the case of exim -v -bv test-bv last one should be like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exim -v -bv test-bv
[EMAIL PROTECTED] failed to verify:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Unknown user
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
router = localuser_maildir, transport = ld_maildir
I think information what exactly address failed is very important and
should not be missing with -v.
