Hi,
Bit newbie, so apologies for that...
I got caught out by moving from lsearch lookups to dbm lookups with the
case-sensitive nature of DBM files. I've sorted it now, but wonder if
there is a missing option I should be using to make things easier?
First up, if I feed in BOB@??? as an address, it won't match
bob@??? in a DBM file, so I have a rule thus:
*@* ${lc:$local_part}@${lc:$domain}
Is there a better way to do this?
Second, it says in the docs that Exim lower-cases the key field of a file
when you use exim_dbmbuild, but NOT the value field (which make sense),
so this caught me out with:
[synonyms] mince@??? -> R.C.Franklin@???
[names] R.C.Franklin@??? -> Robert Franklin
(With Eh and w rewrite rules. The key for the second rule was
lower-cased and so didn't match R.C.Franklin@??? due to case
sensitivity.)
Is there a reason why Exim shouldn't lower-case the key being looked up
when doing a DBM lookup (since the keys will always be in lower case,
anyway)? Or is it a speed thing?
Of course, I'm now building my files with lower-case strings. ;)
