Hmm, may be my explanation was confusing. A message comes in. By means of acl_smtp_data I do some checking stuff and set a variable, indicating special or normal message (no messing with address related stuff here). The first router selects the piping transport if variable says "special" and ends with 'no_more'. After thinking about my testing concept, its evident that I'm doing too much at once - thats's bad practice! First debug ACLs, then - and only then! - do next testing steps (router, transport, etc.). >> So what I want is this: inject message locally to exim with debugging >> turned on and use eximtest.conf, but whatever happens, never deliver to >> original real address, instead deliver to a local test account.

Never thought about using conditionals in config. I could conditionally add a special router following the (possibly failed 1st one) which routes anything received to my testing account! A very helpfull hint, Tony. Exim is a phantastic piece of software, with superb documentation and a lot of skillfull helping hands around! Thanks all, I've learned (and going to learn) a lot, Peter -- ## 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/
