Hello,

I've got more questions about the Exim main log:

1. The documentation says about delivery logging (ch 53.7):

When two or more messages are delivered down a single SMTP connection, an 
asterisk follows the IP address in the log lines for the second and subsequent 
messages.

How does that look like in the log file? I'm not sure where exactly that asterisk would appear. I haven't seen one in my logs but it sounds like it could break my parser.

2. I see log lines like these:

2020-12-27 08:02:06 1ktQ44-0074VW-Qi => [email protected] <[email protected]> 
F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...
2020-12-27 17:39:25 1ktZ4m-008ljc-Is => [email protected] <[email protected]> 
F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...

It's not documented what these two addresses mean. From the second example I guess that the address in upper case is the one entered by the sender and the first one is what's really used instead. I don't understand the first line though.

Which of the two addresses, if present, is the one I should care about?

-Yves
