I'm curious why this is necessary…

As Colin mentioned, in the Specification the description of the *$domain*
variable (p. 127 in the PDF from Exim 4.85) says:

When an address is being routed, or delivered on its own, this variable
contains the domain. Uppercase letters in the domain are converted into
lower case for $domain.


So surely there shouldn't be a need to translate it to lower case using
${lc:$domain} ?

Or is the documentation wrong and the domain name not converted to lower
case before being put into the $domain variable?

Cheers,
