Only in a "warn" statement, whereas "add_header" can be used to add a header in any statement. That was the main motivation for implementing it. (I didn't just do it because I was unhappy about the name.) > Separating the two - i.e. *preventing* 'message' from being used for headers > *at > all* seems the more consistent approach. i.e - it speaks over the smtp port, > not > into the message & header file. Indeed. That is where I would like to end up. But clearly it couldn't be done at once. In the long term I would like to do just that. That's why "message" with "warn" is now deprecated. > i.e. a scorekeeper or accounting-class verb. That really *is* just a naming thing. I agree that it would be better but don't see any great urgency. -- 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/
