Hi,

I would like to build a python script whose output (a stream with exim filter commands) is piped to a redirect router.
Maybe in a more self explanatory way, each time the router is reached, it launches the script that returns the .forward file to it.
Is that possible to set this or do I really need to input a file?

Thanks,

Fab

A redirect router, using a "data" option, which has as its value
a "${run ...}" expansion, that calls the python, that returns the
"non-filter redirection list" (ie. a .forward file).

(You're doing something fairly complex. Be careful of the security aspects.)

Yes I will take care of it as much as I can.

In that case, you would use a database connection, which simplifys the
entire task and saves a lot of cpu cycles.

Starting a python interpreter for every mail is just a waste of a lot of
energy.
