lsearch is completely internal to Exim. Exim knows how to construct the
query. Exim knows how to do "The Right Thing". It supplies an implicit

Mutating SQL queries to try to do The Right Thing is almost certainly
The Wrong Thing, The Frigging Stupid Thing, the I Just Spent How Many
Hours Debugging Something Which Was Silently Changed????? Thing, and
many others.
