I'm having issues with headers and body variables returning null when called in
router conditions. My goal is to select a router/transport based on either:
- A string appearing in the body of the email (preferred), or
- The value of a custom header
For example, if I have the string "router:1" in the email body I want to use a
particular router with a condition that searches for router:1 in $message_body.
Here's are my two defined routers:
send_via_extsmtp:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = extsmtp_smtp
route_list = "* mail.optonline.net::587 byname"
host_find_failed = defer
condition = ${if match{$message_body}{router:1}}
headers_add = "X-ROUTER-TEST: ${if match{$message_body}{router:1}}"
no_more
send_via_extsmtp_nofilter:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = extsmtp_smtp_nofilter
route_list = "* mail.optonline.net::587 byname"
host_find_failed = defer
condition = ${if match{$message_body:}{router:2}}
no_more
The $message_body is seemingly always null. Here's what it outputs in the debug
log:
15:49:54 71560 checking "condition"
15:49:54 71560 expanding: NULL
15:49:54 71560 result: NULL
15:49:54 71560 considering bool_lax: NULL
15:49:54 71560 expanding: $message_body
15:49:54 71560 result:
15:49:54 71560 expanding: router:1
15:49:54 71560 result: router:1
15:49:54 71560 condition: match{$message_body}{router:1}
15:49:54 71560 result: false
15:49:54 71560 expanding: ${if match{$message_body}{router:1}}
15:49:54 71560 result:
15:49:54 71560 considering bool_lax: <empty>
15:49:54 71560 condition: and{{bool_lax{NULL}}{bool_lax{${if
match{$message_body}{router:1}}}}}
15:49:54 71560 result: false
15:49:54 71560 expanding: ${if and{{bool_lax{NULL}}{bool_lax{${if
match{$message_body}{router:1}}}}}}
15:49:54 71560 result:
15:49:54 71560 send_via_extsmtp router skipped: condition failure
I've tried the same thing with headers and it's always NULL and the condition
always fails.
Oddly, it's not empty when I copy the same exact condition to headers_add:
headers_add = "X-ROUTER-TEST: ${if match{$message_body}{router:1}}"
The email is sent with the header:
X-ROUTER-TEST: true
This condition also works in a system_filter.
It seems the only place I'm not seeing it is in the condition router config.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Should I handle this another way?
Thanks!
Jeff
