Philip... Thanks for the insight. I was not aware that this is how the parsing worked. I'm surprised there isn't an easier way, but at least that will work. Thanks again!

You might think you could use this: transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -x \ ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{-u\x20$local_part}} but it wouldn't work, because the string "-u whatever" would then be passed as a single argument to the command, whereas you want two separate arguments. You have to do this: transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -x \ ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{-u}} \ ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$local_part}} It's not quite as horrendous as it looks, because the lookup will be cached. An alternative would be transport_filter = /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/spamc -x \ ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{-u $local_part}}" but that costs you an additional shell process. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
