The SERVERS parameter allows you to specify an alternate list of ldap servers
to use for an individual lookup. The global ldap_servers option provides a
default list of ldap servers, and a single lookup can specify a single ldap
server to use. But when you need to do a lookup with a list of servers that is

different set of servers), the SERVERS parameter allows you to specify this

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.

+Any commas in attribute values are doubled
+(permitting treatment of the values as a comma-separated list).

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.

LDAP query, and the second is the data that is returned. The attribute called

Historical note: prior to release 4.80, Exim defaulted this value to

+For earlier versions of GnuTLS

+
+With OpenSSL the certificates specified
+explicitly
+either by file or directory
+are added to those given by the system default location.
These certificates should be for the certificate authorities trusted, rather
than the public cert of individual clients. With both OpenSSL and GnuTLS, if
the value is a file then the certificates are sent by Exim as a server to
connecting clients, defining the list of accepted certificate authorities.
Thus the values defined should be considered public data. To avoid this,

of the other precondition options are common special cases that could in fact
be specified using &%condition%&.
+.new
+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
+# 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}}
+
+$ exim -be '${if eq {${lc:WHOIS.com}} {google.com}} {yes} {no}}'
+ {yes} {no}}
+.endd
+In each example above, the &%if%& statement actually ends after
+&"{google.com}}"&. Since no true or false braces were defined, the
+default &%if%& behavior is to return a boolean true or a null answer
+(which evaluates to false). The rest of the line is then treated as a
+string. So the first example resulted in the boolean answer &"true"&
+with the string &" {yes} {no}}"& appended to it. The second example
+resulted in the null output (indicating false) with the string
+&" {yes} {no}}"& appended to it.
+
+In fact you can put excess forward braces in too. In the router
+&%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.

Previous values of these variables are restored after the call returns.
The name and values are expanded separately.

If the nested &%acl%& returns &"drop"& and the outer condition denies access,
the connection is dropped. If it returns &"discard"&, the verb must be

Exim itself will handle headers with non-ASCII characters, but it can cause
problems for downstream applications, so this option will allow their
detection and rejection in the DATA ACL's.

+The DrWeb daemon scanner (&url(http://www.sald.com/)) interface
+takes one option,
+either a full path to a UNIX socket,
+or host and port specifiers separated by white space.
+The host may be a name or an IP address; the port is either a
+single number or a pair of numbers with a dash between.
+For example:
.code
av_scanner = drweb:/var/run/drwebd.sock
av_scanner = drweb:192.168.2.20 31337
If you omit the argument, the default path &_/usr/local/drweb/run/drwebd.sock_&
is used. Thanks to Alex Miller for contributing the code for this scanner.
+.vitem &%f-protd%&
+.cindex "virus scanners" "f-protd"
+The f-protd scanner is accessed via HTTP over TCP.
+One argument is taken, being a space-separated hostname and port number
+(or port-range).
+For example:
+.code
+av_scanner = f-protd:localhost 10200-10204

to obtain a queue listing, and then greps the output to select messages

The input files can be in Exim log format or syslog format.
If a matching log line is not associated with a specific message, it is
included in &'exigrep'&'s output without any additional lines. The usage is:
+.new
.display
-&`exigrep [-t<`&&'n'&&`>] [-I] [-l] [-v] <`&&'pattern'&&`> [<`&&'log file'&&`>] ...`&
+&`exigrep [-t<`&&'n'&&`>] [-I] [-l] [-M] [-v] <`&&'pattern'&&`> [<`&&'log file'&&`>] ...`&

If no log file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.

The &%-v%& option inverts the matching condition. That is, a line is selected
if it does &'not'& match the pattern.
+.new
+The &%-M%& options means &"related messages"&. &'exigrep'& will show messages
+that are generated as a result/response to a message that &'exigrep'& matched
+normally.
+
+Example of &%-M%&:
+user_a sends a message to user_b, which generates a bounce back to user_b. If
+&'exigrep'& is used to search for &"user_a"&, only the first message will be
+displayed. But if &'exigrep'& is used to search for &"user_b"&, the first and
+the second (bounce) message will be displayed. Using &%-M%& with &'exigrep'&
+when searching for &"user_a"& will show both messages since the bounce is
+&"related"& to or a &"result"& of the first message that was found by the
+search term.

If the location of a &'zcat'& command is known from the definition of
ZCAT_COMMAND in &_Local/Makefile_&, &'exigrep'& automatically passes any file
whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through &'zcat'& as it searches it.
