Bug#290956: exim4: Exim fails to expand return path.

[Martin Fluch]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.43-3
Severity: important


Exim fails to send e-mails via smarthost. When trying to force delivery
with 'exim4 -qf', it reports for example:

seneca:~# exim4 -qf
2005-01-18 00:23:51 1CqfHk-0000Ch-KB == fluch@cs.helsinki.fi R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-1): Failed to expand return path "${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{+local_domains}{${sender_address_local_part}@serres.ath.cx}${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{seneca.ath.cx}{${sender_address_local_part}@serres.ath.cx}fail}}": syntaxerror in "if" item - "fail" expected

Installing the exim4-* packages from experimental (version 4.43-2)
solves the problem.
