The way I design my Exim configurations, I try to have as much as possible
described in MACROs at the head of the file, so my colleagues can change things
more easily.

Under Exim 3 this was possible with RBLs since there was one domainlist in
which you could include all the DNSBLs. Under Exim 4, it's not possible, since
I need N domainlists.

It's not in itself a problem; just a little untidy in terms of adding a new
DNSBL.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, though.
