Really? spec.txt 10.3 "file names in lists" says that "Putting a file
name in a list has the same effect as inserting each line of the
file as an item in the list". I interpret that as the items are
inserted post separator processing.

Also, the last example in spec.txt 10.11 explicitly gives the example:

|    recipient_unqualified_hosts = /opt/exim/unqualnets

|
|    could make use of a file containing

|
|    172.16.0.0/12
|    3ffe:ffff:836f::/48


which is nearly identical to my setup.

Am I incorrect in this assessment?
