True, but when you do "lsearch;/usr/exim/aliases/domains" the answer is also
!= 1 isn't it?

I tried that ("mysql;select domain_name where domain_name = '$domain';") but
that didn't work...
does anyone know if this would work:
assign the result of a query to a variable replacing end of rows with line
breaks (I seem to remember reading that this is possible with exim?)
then do an lsearch on the result variable to get the local domains,
in pseudo code:
$result = sql query......
convert_to_linebreaks($result)
local_domains = lsearch;$result
however this seems like a convoluted method of solving what seems like such
a simple problem!
Surely there is an easier way!
Anyone?....
