I see, though you gave the out-of-line lists some "magic" abilities. So
the example given:
| deny message = Administrative prohibition
| senders = /etc/shared/exim/config/reject_sender
would actually be similar to something like this:
| deny message = Administrative prohibition
| senders = lsearch;/etc/shared/exim/config/reject_sender : \
| *@lsearch;/etc/shared/exim/config/reject_sender
And the former should even be faster then the latter, shouldn't it?

That's what I wanted to hear. :o)

PS: Thanks for the quick 4.41 patchrelease too, I tend to upgrade soon
due to improved lookup caching. I couldn't reproduce the daemon crash in
4.40, so I couldn't verify the patch. But they both work, so it didn't
get worse, at least. :o)
