If none of the listed +strings matches the outcome of the DMARC check, the condition +fails. + +Of course, you can also use any other lookup method that Exim +supports, including LDAP, Postgres, MySQL, etc, as long as the +result is a list of colon-separated strings. + +Performing the check sets up information used by the +&%authresults%& expansion item. + +Several expansion variables are set before the DATA ACL is +processed, and you can use them in this ACL.
