Thanks for your confirmation shamim!

I tested around and found out that downgrading to exim 8.42 works while 4.84 is failing. (running pcre 8.34)

Removing remove_header solves the problem (but kills features of course) while add_header doesnt seem to be making similar problems (no help in that case of course ��� I was just curious).

While I was lazy by using exim4u it looks like the time has come to make my own hands dirty and ready through all configs and start fully understanding them J

There are two servers on which I am running 4.84 with Exim4U and I don't seem to have a problem. However, I noticed during upgrade that the 4.84 also wanted an updated version of PCRE so you may need to take care of that if you didn't already.

That is interesting but should not be happening. I have not tested exim 4.84 yet but it should be backwards compatible with earlier versions... 

You may want to make a post to the exim-users@exim.org list to inquire if they have changed something that might cause this behavior.  You can subscribe to the exim-users list here:

Hello

I can confirm that this is more likely a compatibility issue. Here is what I have found so far. But I might be thoroughly mistaken (not being very experienced in such things always leaves that possibility)

All routers that have header_remove and the select statement inside fails to expand, resulting in something like below

16:14:55 19977 failed to expand: select users.sa_tag * 10 from
users,domains where local
16:14:55 19977������ error message: missing } at end of string

If you comment out the header_remove, or keep it very very simple, then it works.

Reading this thread I checked my PCRE (which was latest by the way), tried different version, didn't make any difference. Also, I have other systems running older version of exim, but fairly recent (and on one particular the latest) version of PCRE, they are working without any issue. The only problem I found was the one with the latest exim.

I'm *almost* certain I'm missing something, but cannot put my finger on it.

Just my 2p

Thank you
