different than the default list (maybe different order, maybe a completely
different set of servers), the SERVERS parameter allows you to specify this

+alternate list (colon-separated).
Here is an example of an LDAP query in an Exim lookup that uses some of these
values. This is a single line, folded to fit on the page:
strings, each preceded by the attribute name and an equals sign. Within the
quotes, the quote character, backslash, and newline are escaped with
backslashes, and commas are used to separate multiple values for the attribute.
+.new
+Any commas in attribute values are doubled
+(permitting treatment of the values as a comma-separated list).
+.wen
Apart from the escaping, the string within quotes takes the same form as the
output when a single attribute is requested. Specifying no attributes is the
same as specifying all of an entry's attributes.
&%attr1%& has two values, whereas &%attr2%& has only one value:
