Hi list,
I'm trying to setup a pipe transport with a dbm lookup of its command.
Apparently, it only works without args because it doesn't split args
after lookup. Here's an example :
1 - Create a dbm with a key containing a command with 1 or more args :
--
$ perl -e 'dbmopen(my %db, "/tmp/test.db", 0666); $db{test} = "/bin/echo test";
dbmclose(%db);'
2 - Configure a simple transport looking up this command :
--
test_delivery:
driver = pipe
command = ${lookup{test}dbmnz{/tmp/test.db}}
3 - Test it (this is Exim 4.43) :
--

As you can see, argv[0] contains "/bin/echo test". I'm not a programming
expert but according to execve(2), that's bad.
Is this a normal behaviour ? If so, how can I ensure that exim will
correctly split the command and its args before calling execve() ?
Thanks,
