http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866 Summary: spec 22.6 redirection list items (:blackhole:)
buggy/misleading
Product: Exim
Version: 4.69
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: low
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo:
nigel@...
ReportedBy:

CC:
exim-dev@...
4.69 (and pre 4.70 20090712 checkout, behaviour tested with this version)
contains:
22.6 Special items in redirection lists
[...]
* Sometimes you want to throw away mail to a particular local part.
[...]
Warning: If :blackhole: appears anywhere in a redirection list, no delivery
is done for the original local part, even if other redirection items are
present. If you are generating a multi-item list (for example, by reading a
database) and need the ability to provide a no-op item, you must use /dev/
null.
* An attempt to deliver a particular address can be deferred or forced to
fail by redirection items of the form
:defer:
:fail:
respectively. When a redirection list contains such an item, it applies to
the entire redirection; any other items in the list are ignored
(:blackhole: is different).
If I dont't miss anything, the ":blackhole: is different" contradicts the
warning in the previous item and should be removed.
