Assumpte: [exim] Error in the Exim specification?
Hi,

I think I've spotted a little mistake in the Exim specification.
Nothing serious, but it confused me a bit.

In section 9.2, at the point where "wildlsearch" is explained, the text
says:

> The string may begin with an asterisk to mean “begins with”.


Don't you mean "ends with"? As in "the given key ends with blahblah"?
Because in the examples that follow,

 >  *.a.b.c       data for anything.a.b.c
 >  *fish         data for anythingfish


The key doesn't begin with "fish", but it ends with it.

But maybe I just misunderstood you. :)

I don't read exim-users, so please send me CCs of your replies.

Regards,

      Tim Weber.
