No. As the comment says, this is not a message log, though it gets put
into the message log directory. This is a file for the transport to
write its output onto. By setting one of the relevant flags, you have
asked Exim to catch this output and either return it or log it.

message_logs = false does not work

Hello, I tried using message_logs = false, but still get some message logs. In deliver.c, around line 1671, I see: /* If one of the return_output flags is set on the transport, create and open a file in the message log directory for the transport to write its output onto. This is mainly used by pipe transports. The file needs to be unique to the address. This feature is not available for shadow transports. */ if (!shadowing && (tp->return_output || tp->return_fail_output || tp->log_output || tp->log_fail_output)) { uschar *error; addr->return_filename = string_sprintf("%s/msglog/%s/%s-%d-%d", spool_directory, message_subdir, message_id, getpid(), return_count++); addr->return_file = open_msglog_file(addr->return_filename, 0400, &error); if (addr->return_file < 0) { common_error(TRUE, addr, errno, US"Unable to %s file for %s transport " "to return message: %s", error, tp->name, strerror(errno)); return; } } Can I safely add message_logs && to the front of the first condition?

Re: pdf with change indicators? Re: Creating XML

It is not a DocBook XML limitation. The XML can be created with revisionflag="changed" on the appropriate elements, and indeed that is what already happens. Unfortunately, at present, the only XML processor that recognizes this attribute is the one that generates HTML. We just have to hope that in future the processors that generate the other formats take note of this attribute. This is, however, something that irks me. If I ever get time, I may investigate whether the XSL stylesheets can be made to generate something useful. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book --

It turned out that I was wrong on the source of the message logs. They were not generated by the pipe transport, which has no output options set, btw. There must have been some older processes running which still generated message logs, as they ran with the old configuration. I don't know why Exim did not remove them, because the code does not stop removing the logs if message_logs is not set. Half an hour later, Exim did not generate any new message logs, so everything is fine apart from the small problem I had during the transition. Michael --
