Hi,

It seems to me that configuring Exim 4 in combination with databases is
kind of under-documented. I can't seem to find any information on how to
set up and *use* the lookups.

f.e. I have

| hide pgsql_servers = localhost/blah/blah/blah


and

| domainlist local_domains = @ : \
|     @[] : \
|     localhost : \
|     cipher.lin-gen.com : \
|     ${lookup pgsql{select name from exim_local_domains}{$value}}


It queries the database, but still it rejects the message I try to send
to a domain specified in the database...

I see the connection opening:
| Aug 19 15:13:02 cipher postgres[19516]: [1] DEBUG: connection: host=127.0.0.1 user=blah database=blah


And then I get:
| 2002-08-19 15:13:02 H=dot.freshdot.net (dot) [195.64.80.165] (ssmeenk) F=<ssmeenk@???> rejected RCPT pitr@www.waterfiets.test: Relaying prohibited. Authentication required.


Now it's very unclear to me what the exact format of the ${lookup}
command should be. You can add {$value} at the end, what does it do?

Does anyone have links to more comprehensive coverage of Exim4 and
database lookups? The "documentation" on www.exim.org:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.00/doc/html/spec_9.html#IX475
is very unclear about it.

Regards,
Sander.
