Indeed there is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(73) 17-Jul-02 M Match a list from within a condition
e.g. ${if matchdomain {$domain}{+domainlist} ...
${if matchhost {$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4/10:2.3.4.5/16}...
Thought needed about how to handle host names. This may be too messy to specify
cleanly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I last looked at this, it was before the modification to $sender_host_
name that causes an automatic rDNS lookup if necessary whenever the
variable is referenced. It may therefore be easier now to specify this,
but there are still problems, especially when query-style lookups are
involved.
