it is possible to specify a list of servers with an individual query. This is
done by appending a comma-separated option to the query type:
.display
-.endd
&`,servers=`&&'server1:server2:server3:...'&
+.endd
.wen
Each item in the list may take one of two forms:
.olist
.cindex "tainted data" "de-tainting"
Note that this is commonly untainted
(depending on the way the list was created).
+Specifically, explicit text in the configuration file in not tainted.
This is a useful way of obtaining an untainted equivalent to
the domain, for later operations.
+
+However if the list (including one-element lists)
+is created by expanding a variable containing tainted data,
+it is tainted and so will the match value be.
.endlist
You can use &`fail`& instead of {<&'string3'&>} as in a string extract.
+.new
+.vitem &*${listquote{*&<&'separator'&>&*}{*&<&'string'&>&*}}*&
+.cindex quoting "for list"
+.cindex list quoting
+This item doubles any occurrence of the separator character
+in the given string.
+An empty string is replaced with a single space.
+This converts the string into a safe form for use as a list element,
+in a list using the given separator.

.vitem "&*${lookup{*&<&'key'&>&*}&~*&<&'search&~type'&>&*&~&&&
{*&<&'file'&>&*}&~{*&<&'string1'&>&*}&~{*&<&'string2'&>&*}}*&"
This is the first of one of two different types of lookup item, which are both
There can be problems if any of the strings are permitted to contain colon
characters. In the usual way, these have to be doubled to avoid being taken as
-separators. If the data is being inserted from a variable, the &%sg%& expansion
-item can be used to double any existing colons. For example, the configuration
+separators.
+The &%listquote%& expansion item can be used for this.
+For example, the configuration
of a LOGIN authenticator might contain this setting:
.code
-server_condition = ${if pam{$auth1:${sg{$auth2}{:}{::}}}}
-.endd
-For a PLAIN authenticator you could use:
-.code
-server_condition = ${if pam{$auth2:${sg{$auth3}{:}{::}}}}

running as root. Since Exim is running as the Exim user when receiving
