These settings cause Exim to avoid ident callbacks for all incoming SMTP calls.
Few hosts offer RFC1413 service these days; calls have to be
terminated by a timeout and this needlessly delays the startup
Thus, in the default case, as long as at least one of the DNS lookups
yields some data, the lookup succeeds.

See the &%ldap_start_tls%& option.

Starting with Exim 4.83, the initialization of LDAP with TLS is more tightly
controlled. Every part of the TLS configuration can be configured by settings in
&_exim.conf_&. Depending on the version of the client libraries installed on
running as could affect which config files it read. With Exim 4.83, these
methods become optional, only taking effect if not specifically set in
&_exim.conf_&.

The TIME parameter (also a number of seconds) is passed to the server to
set a server-side limit on the time taken to complete a search.
-.new
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
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.

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:

The command and its arguments are first expanded as one string. The string is
split apart into individual arguments by spaces, and then the command is run
