${hash{<string1>}{<string2>}{<string3>}}

        This is a textual hashing function, and was the first to be
        implemented in early versions of Exim. In current releases,
        there are other hashing functions (numeric, MD5, and SHA-1),
        which are described below.


        The first two strings, after expansion, must be numbers. Call
        them <m> and <n>. If you are using fixed values for these
        numbers, that is, if <string1> and <string2> do not change when
        they are expanded, you can use the simpler operator notation
        that avoids some of the braces:
