Regarding this "If, however, no significant deliveries are set up, Exim continues processing the current address as if there were no filter file, and typically sets up a delivery of a copy of the message into a local mailbox. In particular, this happens in the special case of a filter file containing only comments."
.... my perlscript ie. pipe will take care of all mail and I don't want any deliveries scheduled after my filter has finished. my perlscript uses Mail::Audit to archive the message content into the appropriate mail folder and I don't need the filter to deliver mail after that has happened. ie. the perlscript has a catch all as well. So how can you tell the filter file to not schedule any deliveries? so if my .forward file looks like this # Exim filter if error_message then finish endif pipe $home/perlscripts/filter.pl #mail subject "message discarded" finish will it try to make any significant delivery?
