- Yes. Sometime between 5.61 and 5.65c it stopped working with (essentially)
- the same configuation file. It can be made to work with 5.65c, but you have
- to make sure of the following in your configuration file:
-
- a) ruleset 3 should pass :include: lines unchanged. Something like
-
- R:include:$+ $@:include:$1 # return :include: specifications
-
- near the beginning of ruleset 3 should do the trick. Depending on
- your ruleset 3, it might not be necessary.
-
- b) ruleset 0 must resolve to the local mailer, preferably without doing
- material damage to the include specification. Again, a single line
- like
-
- R:include:$+ $#local$@$::include:$1 # resolve :include: specifications to local mailer
-
- near the start of ruleset 0 should work.
-
- Processing a test message with the -v and -d flags may be informative.
