It is useful only in + conjunction with -be (that is, when testing string expansions). It must be + followed by a message id; Exim loads the given message from its spool before + doing the expansions, thus setting message-specific variables such as + $message_size and the header variables. The $recipients variable is + available. This feature is provided to make it easier to test expansions + that make use of these variables. However, Exim must be called by an admin + user when -Mset is used. + +8. Another similar new command-line option is called -bem. It operates like -be + except that it must be followed by the name of a file. For example: + + exim -bem /tmp/testmessage + + The file is read as a message (as if receiving a locally-submitted non-SMTP + message) before any of the test expansions are done. Thus, message-specific + variables such as $message_size and $h_from: are available. However, no + Received: header is added to the message. If the -t option is set, + recipients are read from the headers in the normal way, and are shown in the + $recipients variable. Note that recipients cannot be given on the command + line, because further arguments are taken as strings to expand (just like + -be). + +9. When an address is delayed because of a 4xx response to a RCPT command, it + is now the combination of sender and recipient that is delayed in subsequent + queue runs until its retry time is reached. You can revert to the previous + behavious, that is, delay the recipient independent of the sender, by + setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the smtp transport. However, + this can lead to problems with servers that regularly issue 4xx responses to + RCPT commands. + + Version 4.63 ------------
