As this seems to be something that would apply only to host lists (not
to domain lists or address lists), there is no doubt some suitable
syntax we could use. I don't like curlies, because of confusing with
expansion strings. Square brackets might be OK. Or we could go for
suffixes, as in other Exim configurations. The above then becomes
host_accept_relay = localhost : */auth/tls : \
192.168.42.0/24/auth : ! *
Slightly messy when netmasks are also used, but unambiguous.
