It may not be obvious, because most everything is encoded in strings,
but the string constants _are_ typed. The type of host_accept_relay is
host-list and the manual contains exact specifications of all types in
the chapter "The Exim configuration file".

That chapter could be more precise by either first giving a specification
of lists and then documenting the list elements, or by giving a complete
specification (list and element) for _all list types, but the needed
information is there.

Do the unthinkable and RTFM from its beginning. ;)
