Lots of examples abound for conditionals that already do just that - and
more.
Exim conditionals are *very* flexible and powerful as-is.
Note what you just did, above, with just a one-byte change.
No patch needed, AFAICS.
Now - if you *really* need to get ultra-clever, almost anything in
~/configure, from tests to greylisting - whatever - can be driven from
an SQL DB - which can be tested for, or made to return, anything
'usable' under the Sun (and a lot that AIN'T if yer careless).
I do not, however, recommend an RDBMS be used 'casually' or as a
band-aid with Exim, as SQL calls are *way* heavier resource hogs than
Exim's inbuilt tests.
HTH,
Bill
