This is the intended behaviour IMHO. A macro simply substitutes it's
name through it's exact contents. An example - you define a multiline
macro using \ like this:
MYMACRO=warn message = X-Test: YES \
condition = ${if {$h_subject}{macro test}{yes}{no}}
In your acl you might have:
MYMACRO
log_message = mymacro triggered.
After macro substitution, it will become:
warn message = X-Test: YES \
condition = ${if {$h_subject}{macro test}{yes}{no}}
log_message = mymacro triggered.
The \ won't be touched, it appears in the result as it appears in the
macro. To get around this, define each line as a single macro and omit
the \ like shown below:
MYMACRO1=warn message = X-Test: YES
MYMACRO2=condition = ${if {$h_subject}{macro test}{yes}{no}}
acl:
MYMACRO1
MYMACRO2
log_message = mymacro triggered.
This yields:
warn message = X-Test: YES
condition = ${if {$h_subject}{macro test}{yes}{no}}
log_message = mymacro triggered.
Bingo. But now you have two macros for one condition instead of one,
that's not nice, but I don't know of a way to overcome this.
