Well, guess what. I actually _use_ everything in there (not all on the same
machine though), so at least I need those (that's why almost everything has
been tested and in use for quite a while, except more recent exim 4 stuff)
So yes, it's complex, but less complex than having to redo it yourself from
an empty file :-)

Well, it's not that hard to see that it's a macro that puts the option in an
outside file. If you don't know how route_list works, you should look it up
in the docs :-)
That said, I do provide a sample for each option, which should help.

Oh, thanks, that one would have taken me a while to catch.

Indeed. I had this working at some point. I'm not too sure when I broke it.
If you have the fix, I'll take it, or I'll look into it some more.
(this seems to be the one option I stopped needing a little while ago, but
I'm sure I'll need it again at some point)

Thanks
