I don't understand why. ${lookup returns newline terminated strings. That
would be a problem if I'd use:
... = ${lookup pgsql{SELECT DISTINCT name FROM domains}}
Because I'd get back a list then. In my case I always get back 0 or 1
items but never a list so it shouldn't matter?

Yes that did the trick, thanks for your help!

I don't know if that's the way I want to do it - I simply don't know a
better way :-)
