Author: Rob Butler Date: To: exim-users Subject: Re: [Exim] SQL Lookup modification request
I downloaded and looks at exim 4.24 and this feature is infact available for
the MySQL and PostgreSQL drivers. : )
Just to be complete / consistent though I checked the Interbase and Oracle
drivers and they do not support this feature.
It would be nice if this feature was added to those drivers as well so that
the capabilities across all the SQL based drivers is consistent.
