G'day

This is OT from your discussion but I am just curious. Why would you need
to have extension types looked up from a database? Even Microsoft can't
generate that many visus laden extensions that require storing the list in
a database. We just have our in our Exim configure file...

This is list taken from the MS site (with addition of wmv's to stop people
'sharing' movies).

Just curious.

Have you tried running test session with Exim debug on which would show you
how expression is being evaluated?
