Oh, so it does. Sorry about that.
So, the default sender/recipient are taken from the calling user, and
then the recipient is assumed to have the test-filter you specify. Not
a problem.
Generally, Exim is careful to keep the SMTP envelope (or mock-up
thereof) separate from the message headers; if it did start extracting
routing values from a mail content without being explicitly requested to
do so, it would be doing something different from what it usually does
and causing even more confusion. Probably.
Okay, two things make me nervous here:
1) Why is the recipient in this test the current user? I know that I can
override/set that with -bfd/-bfl but I expected that exim takes these
values from the testmail - to test the rules?
Only if you tell it to. Otherwise the recipients are specified on the
command-line.
Would love to tell it to use the sample mail somehow. But since I'm
testing filter rules with a sample message, what's the message for if it
isn't used for the addresses? Headers only by default? Anything at all?
Sorry, I'm still lost here.
Because you can filter based upon properties of the message. Take a
look at RFC 5228, which is the current specification for Sieve and which
contains a number of examples.
Eg, you can filter based on the size of the message, content of various
headers (eg, Subject:), etc. You're not limited to just the envelope.
Eg, extracting from an old sieve file I have (used with Cyrus IMAP, not
with Exim):
8 cut here 8--
if envelope :is from [EMAIL PROTECTED] {
if header :matches Subject [CVS commit: home/pdp *, CVS commit:
home/pdp/*] {
fileinto INBOX.cvs.mine; stop;
}
fileinto INBOX.cvs.misc; stop;
}
if header :is Content-Type text/html {
fileinto INBOX.html-only; stop;
}
# implicit keep here
8 cut here 8--
So the envelope check uses the values faked up, but the Subject: check
is using the content.

Only if you tell it to. Otherwise the recipients are specified on the
command-line.
Would love to tell it to use the sample mail somehow. But since I'm
testing filter rules with a sample message, what's the message for if it
isn't used for the addresses? Headers only by default? Anything at all?
Sorry, I'm still lost here.
Because you can filter based upon properties of the message. Take a
look at RFC 5228, which is the current specification for Sieve and which
contains a number of examples.
Eg, you can filter based on the size of the message, content of various
headers (eg, Subject:), etc. You're not limited to just the envelope.
Eg, extracting from an old sieve file I have (used with Cyrus IMAP, not
with Exim):
8 cut here 8--
if envelope :is from [EMAIL PROTECTED] {
if header :matches Subject [CVS commit: home/pdp *, CVS commit:
home/pdp/*] {
fileinto INBOX.cvs.mine; stop;
}
fileinto INBOX.cvs.misc; stop;
}
if header :is Content-Type text/html {
fileinto INBOX.html-only; stop;
}
# implicit keep here
8 cut here 8--
So the envelope check uses the values faked up, but the Subject: check
is using the content.
Okay, got that now. That basically means that I cannot easily test sieve
rules based on the envelope address though, but I can do it manually
somehow. Being naive about this stuff I imagined that I could take X
sample messages from my inbox (which unfortunately differ in envelope to
as well) and run them through the filter, checking if [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up
in another folder than [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it still works with putting
list mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a third folder. Some kind of fully
automated test, asking exim What would happen if this message would
come in right now without additional info.
I understand your point though and will provide the info per mail,
manually.
Thanks for answering right away.

Re: [exim] prepending to the localuser - what would be the exim way?
On 2008-02-07 at 11:40 -0800, Ray Chudzinski wrote:
In a nutshell, I need to:
- recognize an incoming message is one of the 'special' messages (most easily
done by examining the source host. all of these will come from one MTA)
- verify that the localuser is all numeric
- rewrite the localhost portion by pre-pending a string
- forward the re-written message to a specific remote host for delivery
My question is were should I perform each piece of the logic.
e.g.
1) matching the format in a router (and reccomendations on the router)
2) verification of the localuser in the router
3) pre-pending the string via a re-write (really not sure of this step)
4) deliverly using the remote_smtp transport
Do 1,2,3 in a redirect router; follow that router with a manualroute
router. The first router should use address_data = ... to cause
$address_data to be set and the second router should use condition =
... to check $address_data.
There are other ways, but you're then either tying together stuff from
the ACLs with variables to Routers in a different part of the config, or
you're relying upon the router ordering and how careful you are to use
no_more when needed (eg, redirect_router on the first to point to a
router after the last one that can normally ever be invoked, instead of
using $address_data).
Eg, if you have hostlist the_weirdo = defining the IP address of
the source host which does this, then:
mangle_special_foo:
driver = redirect
local_parts = ^\\d+\$
condition = ${if and{\
{match_ip{$sender_host_address}{+the_weirdo}}\
{your_other_verification_goes_here}}}
data = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
address_data = is_foo
redirect_router = send_foo
send_foo:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
condition = ${if eq{$address_data}{is_foo}}
route_data = specific.remote.host.tld
Note that this means that if the local-part doesn't verify, then it will
be tried by later routers. I suspect that if the local number is
invalid, then instead of having it in the condition then instead you
want to fail the address. In which case, you can use allow_fail on
the redirect and then use an explicit fail on the data expansion.
Especially if the PREFIX is the result of that lookup. Eg,
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}cdb{/some/file.cdb} \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{:fail: Unrecognised magic foo}}
Note that I don't ${quote_local_part:...} because it's verified to be a
number; otherwise, you might want to do so.
Checking the source host is easier in an ACL, so you might do that
instead of the match_ip stuff, and then check an $acl_m_whatever
variable; the only real downside is that some of your relevant logic is
then separated from the rest.

[exim] Problems testing (sieve) filter rules
