-When originally designed, Exim's ACL system enforced very strict parsing
-of the &%condition%& expansion everywhere it was being processed.
-Through the 4.7x release cycle, the &%condition%& processing while in a
-router became more loose, internally adopting the use of &%bool_lax%&
-instead of the more rigid &%bool%&. This is best illustrated in an
-example:
+Historical note: We have &%condition%& on ACLs and on Routers. Routers
+are far older, and use one set of semantics. ACLs are newer and when
+they were created, the ACL &%condition%& process was given far stricter
+parse semantics. The &%bool{}%& expansion condition uses the same rules as
+ACLs. The &%bool_lax{}%& expansion condition uses the same rules as
+Routers. More pointedly, the &%bool_lax{}%& was written to match the existing
+Router rules processing behavior.
+
+This is best illustrated in an example:
.code
-# This used to fail with a syntax error, now it
-# treats any extra characters as a string
+# If used in an ACL condition will fail with a syntax error, but
+# in a router condition any extra characters are treated as a string
$ exim -be '${if eq {${lc:GOOGLE.com}} {google.com}} {yes} {no}}'
true {yes} {no}}
&" {yes} {no}}"& appended to it.
In fact you can put excess forward braces in too. In the router
-&%condition%&, Exim's ACL parser only looks for &"{"& symbols when they
+&%condition%&, Exim's parser only looks for &"{"& symbols when they
mean something, like after a &"$"& or when required as part of a
conditional. But otherwise &"{"& and &"}"& are treated as ordinary
string characters.
+
+Thus, in a Router, the above expansion strings will both always evaluate
+true, as the result of expansion is a non-empty string which doesn't
+match an explicit false value. This can be tricky to debug. By
+contrast, in an ACL either of those strings will always result in an
+expansion error because the result doesn't look sufficiently boolean.
