Pkg exim4 users - Jul 2007 - main option bounce_message_file doesn''t work with Exim4 in Debian

Hi Marc,

Concerning my ISP smtp.free.fr, it''s really a filter on the subject :
when I send a "normal" email with "Mail delivery failed" in
the subject,
it disappears without any error message. It''s a pity : this way I guess
I can''t know when my own emails do not arrive...

Concerning the option bounce_message_file, I tried in both
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options
(of course I use the split configuration scheme)

It simply doesn''t work. Do you have another idea ?

Cheers,
Bruno

Looks like the correct place. Does the configuration end up in
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated?

Greetings
Marc
