Version: 4.43-3
Severity: normal
I am trying to send a message from my laptop, through my smarthost, addressed
from an account at a different domain. The message is addressed to this email
address, <nam1@cec.wustl.edu>, which is yet a different domain. I am
receiving the following error from exim:
2005-01-17 08:58:39 1CqJ7w-00026V-0F == nam1@cec.wustl.edu R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-1): Failed to expand return path "${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{+local_domains}{${sender_address_local_part}@metaverse.homeip.net}${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{metaverse.homeip.net}{${sender_address_local_part}@metaverse.homeip.net}fail}}": syntax error in "if" item - "fail" expected
which appears to come from line 255 in /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf:
DEBCONFreturn_pathDEBCONF='return_path = ${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{+local_domains}{${sender_address_local_part}@DCreadhost}${if match_domain{$sender_address_domain}{'"$mailname"'}{${sender_address_local_part}@DCreadhost}fail}}'
I wish I could provide a patch, but I don't understand the syntax of these
files.

This has already been reported three times, and is fixed in 4.43-4.
