As in other command +executions from Exim, a shell is not used by default. If the command requires a shell, you must explicitly code it. +Since the arguments are split by spaces, when there is a variable expansion +which has an empty result, it will cause the situation that the argument will +simply be omitted when the program is actually executed by Exim. If the +script/program requires a specific number of arguments and the expanded +variable could possibly result in this empty expansion, the variable must be +quoted. This is more difficult if the expanded variable itself could result +in a string containing quotes, because it would interfere with the quotes +around the command arguments.
