I need a doc for the doc...

hmm.. on the one side i can read information like virtual and real
domains from a database

On the other side i can't use an virtual domain for functions like
this....
It's inconsistent that i can read some information that belongs to
domains and his users from databases and i must use fixed data from exim4
config for other informations belonging to the same.
Now i have two different storages for domain configuration.
And people that can make administrativ changes to a domain databases must
have rights to change the exim4 configfile :-(
What about a petition for allowing database access for all variables ??
If anybody has performanceproblems... spezial variables uses only cached
database results.

Thats really bad.
