Bug ID: 2381
Summary: Environment variable string expansion not working when
used with headers_add
Product: Exim
Version: 4.91
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: String expansion
Assignee: ni...@exim.org
Reporter: r...@byu.net
CC: exim-dev@exim.org
In short, using the following line in my Exim transport does not result in the
string expansion (insertion) of the environment variable:
headers_add = "X-TESTVAR: ${env{TESTVAR}{$value}{The TESTVAR environment
variable was not found}}"
I never get `$value`; I always get "The TESTVAR environment variable was not
found".
All of the following text has been manually anonymized.

The relevant transport from my exim.conf:
dovecot_virtual_delivery:
driver = lmtp
socket = /var/run/dovecot/lmtp
batch_max = 200
rcpt_include_affixes
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
headers_add = "X-TESTVAR: ${env{TESTVAR}{$value}{The TESTVAR environment
variable was not found}}"

The commands I executed to send the email:
acco...@example.com [~]# export TESTVAR=hello
acco...@example.com [~]# echo $TESTVAR
hello
acco...@example.com [~]# exim -t
to:m...@example.com
Hi there, this email should have a header named "X-TESTVAR" and it should have
a value of "hello".
acco...@example.com [~]#
