+# If not using package management but using this anyway, then think about how

+# embedding the Exim version number into LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR, so that you can
+# maintain two concurrent sets of modules.

+# To build a module dynamically, you'll need to define CFLAGS_DYNAMIC for

+# CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=-shared -rdynamic

# These settings determine which file and database lookup methods are included

# As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
# WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names

+# Expanding match_* second paramters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
+# It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
+# problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
+# as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
+# data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
+# style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
+# query, dropping tables.
+# From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
+# be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
+# the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
+# but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
+# what is normally wanted.
+#
+# If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and
+# will not complain if your system is compromised as a result of doing so, then
+# uncomment this option to get the old behaviour back.
