Bill,
Good, glad that works. Another way would be to use match...
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -be
> ${if
match{:tom:dick:harry:}{:${extract{1}{.}{tom.foo.bar.com}}:}{true}{false}}
true
> ${if
match{:joe:dick:harry:}{:${extract{1}{.}{tom.foo.bar.com}}:}{true}{false}}
false
> ${if
match{:joe:tom:dick:harry:}{:${extract{1}{.}{tom.foo.bar.com}}:}{true}{false}}
true
Note the extra ':' at the front and end of the list. You can't just match
for 'foo', because 'foobar' would match, so you match for ':foo:', hence
the need to start and end with ':'.

Thanks, Dan,
I had either forgotten (or never known) that 'match_local_part' is not
just-and-only hard-wired to look at the string separated by a '@' from
<domain>.<tld>
Testing as:
condition = ${if match_local_part{${extract{1}{.}{$sender_host_name}}} \
{<string(1)>:<string(n)>{true}{false}}
Which seems to be working as expected - and more effciently than an
external table search, as I am looking for only a very, very few strings
(just one at present..).
Regards,
Bill
