The following Exim mailing lists exist:

You can subscribe to these lists, change your existing subscriptions, and view

This condition matches an IP address to a list of IP address patterns. It must
be followed by two argument strings. The first (after expansion) must be an IP
-address or an empty string. The second (after expansion) is a restricted host
+address or an empty string. The second (not expanded) is a restricted host
list that can match only an IP address, not a host name. For example:

${if match_ip{$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4:5.6.7.8}{...}{...}}
