Hi Bill, Cheers for the reply. I'll post the patch on exim-dev. I'm probably being slow, but I don't see how acl_not_smtp can help. As I understand it, this is only 'called' when a message is received over a non smtp source (e.g. using 'exim -bm' or a local bounce message following delivery failure). What I want is something that runs every time a delivery is attempted. This means either a system filter or a router/transport combination.(?) A quick test with acl_non_smtp seems to indicate it doesn't run at all with an externally source message, neither during receipt, nor during subsequent queue routings and delivery attempts. Thinking about it though, I can probably do exactly what I want with a redirect router instead of a system filter. Although I suppose that it still runs as a filter, so might have the same problem as before. I'll see what happens if I run it as a router, but if I've missed something obvious please let me know.
