Hi I checked the code again - I made a booboo when copying - but that
did not solve the problem - same error still exists.
There seems to be a missng bracket in the last line of Philip's code.
But the error continues when I add the bracket.
I inserted spaces between "lsearch", "lsearch*" and the rest of the
equation - but it did not work.
Herewith my code as is now:
smtp_accept_max_per_host =
${lookup{$sender_host_address}lsearch{/path/to/file}\
{$value}\
{\
${lookup{${mask:$sender_host_address/24}lsearch*{/path/to/file}}\
}}}
I'm at a loss :-))
Thanks
Nico
