Correct. In particular, "filter.txt" supplied with Exim notes: ----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------ Remember that, as was explained earlier, the pipe command is not run at the time the filter file is interpreted. The filter just defines what deliveries are required for one particular addressee of a message. The deliveries themselves happen later, once Exim has decided everything that needs to be done for the message. A consequence of this is that you cannot inspect the return code from the pipe command from within the filter. Nevertheless, the code returned by the command is important, because Exim uses it to decide whether the delivery has succeeded or failed. ----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------ -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
