Yes, you may well be right. I need to investigate the use of '@@' in lookups
a bit more, but otherwise that may be the way to go. I was, however, hoping
to avoid any thing 'external' (or 'additional' perhaps) and get exim itself
to do all the work for me :-) If I can I'll get back to the problem today.
