better example, but still not very painful today:

condition = ${lookup mysql{select distinct 'true' from table \
                           where (field = 'from' and value = $h_from) \
                              or (field = 'x-mailer' and value = $h_x-mailer) \
                              or (field = 'subject' and value = $h_subject) \
                              or (field = 'to' and value = $h_to)}}


this is a little more verbose, but more efficient since there's only one
SQL query. to reduce verbosity, it would be useful to have macros
taking arguments, something like

MATCH(x) = (field = 'x' and value = $h\_x)
condition = ${lookup mysql{select distinct 'true' from table \
                           where MATCH(from) \
                              or MATCH(x-mailer) \
                              or MATCH(subject) \
                              or MATCH(to)}}


perhaps just hack in M4-support? then you get looping constructs during
preprocessing, but not during execution.
