Hello,
I do not think it is possible, quoting
<
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_9.html#CHAP9>:
| lsearch: The given file is a text file that is searched linearly for a
| line beginning with the search key, terminated by a colon or white
| space or the end of the line.
So having this in the lookup file:
white space: value
would have the effect that you could lsearch for "white" and get
"space: value" but *not* to lsearch for "white space" and get "value".
cu andreas
echo "white space: value" > /tmp/lookup
/usr/sbin/exim -be '${lookup{white}lsearch{/tmp/lookup}}'
