Summary: "require" ACL verb is order-sensitive, while it
shouldn't
Product: Exim
Version: 4.66
Platform: Other
OS/Version: FreeBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: ACLs
AssignedTo: ph10@hermes.cam.ac.uk
ReportedBy: w@wrzask.pl
QAContact: exim-dev@exim.org


It appears that the "require" verb, as described in:

http://exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/index.html#toc0321

.. is order specific. So, when I put:

require message = something
condition = ${if something}

I get the message right. But when it is put the other way round:

require condition = ${if something}
message = something

.. and the condition fails, "require" denies, but Exim doesn't print out the
message as it should - it just says "Administrative prohibition".

The same thing applies to log_message.

This issue seems only to apply for "require" statements. "deny" doesn't seem to
care about message/log_message/condition/whatever ordering.

Sure you can just make a note about that in the docs, but since ordering of
statements for "require" doesn't make any sense to me, I'd be better to fix it.
