But fine - I tried googling for a couple of examples, and found 2 setting 'system_filter_pipe_transport = address_pipe' (eg. http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/exim_and_anti_spam_spamassassin?page=0%2C2). Looked up 'address_pipe' in the documentation, but still not any the wiser. Here's a compilation of what I've read: http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/filter.html#SECTpipe http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch29.html http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch11.html#SECTexpvar >From the last link, it seems that I should only bother with $address_pipe if a message is redirected to a pipe due to "aliasing or forwarding"? In which case, I shouldnt bother, since I'm expecting to run the pipe at the beginning using system_filter? OTOH, the 2nd link mentions '$address_pipe contains the text of the pipe command', as if this were not a special case? These docs have been chasing round in circles. I've also set system_filter_user, and system_filter_group to the exim user, to try and see if this helps. It doesnt. -jf > Best regards from Dresden/Germany > Viele Grüße aus Dresden > Heiko Schlittermann > -- > SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - > Heiko Schlittermann HS12-RIPE ----------------------------------------- > gnupg encrypted messages are welcome - key ID: 48D0359B --------------- > gnupg fingerprint: 3061 CFBF 2D88 F034 E8D2 7E92 EE4E AC98 48D0 359B - > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAkqtR4kACgkQ7k6smEjQNZuCQACg65rwIJkdHXOxMSmuXA8lq9Uc > BBsAoJIhKtwWGcSMmgReKI3S7QzrXvll > =q6T0 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > -- > ## 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/ > -- ## 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/
