Thanks Sander, I had a look in the man pages but didnt see what I wanted (actually -V isnt mentioned on my dist :S) so thanks for the info. So my Exim was reading the config file I thought, but Ill admit I dont understand it as well as would be helpful. Anyway I think it was a different line specifying $local_part that was causing the prob, after replacing the single quotes with double quotes in all instances its fixed my issue.
thanks for the quick answer, cheers Andy. -- ## 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/
