There is already a different item on the WishList:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things may be (probably are) easier with host names now that a reference
to $sender_host_name automatically causes an rDNS lookup. I haven't
looked at this for some time, but I realize how useful it would be.
Unfortunately (from your point of view), over the next 3 months I'm
going to be rather busy running a number of Exim courses and tutorials
(in various places), so I don't know how much "big" development will
happen.
