I may not be understanding this but it does seem that the SMTP dialogue
from the mail command in the system filter is doing something I do not
expect.
I'm using Exim 4.71 and with the following stanza in the message filter
if "${if def:header_X-Attachment: {there}}" is there
then
mail to $recipients
from "[email protected]"
subject "Small attachment detected"
text "A message from $sender_address with subject $h_subject:
contained a small attachment"
logwrite "Detected: Small attachment detected for $recipients"
seen finish
endif
fails with an error message containing
mail to [email protected]
generated by system-filter
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT
TO:<>[email protected]>:
The log entry is

The recipient address appears to be correct ($recipients output to the log
correctly), but the RCPT TO has an extra > in front of the address.
So where is that extra > coming from?
