    So the result was "194.xxx.xxx.xxx", which is rather different
from the equivalent to the $domain that you used to use.


You need to develop a way of both validating the $domain *and* getting
an untainted string for the file for your lookup checking the
local_parts condition...

You are validating $domain currently using a partial-lsearch.
The data isn't currently usable. You could consider whether
that data is actually needed elsewhere (you're not using it here, so
far).
The key in the file isn't usable, if you're employing partial-
facilities. You could consider whether you really need the partial-
matching feature.

You could validate by some other means, eg. the actual existence of
the file you're about to use for the local_parts condition. Hint:
"dsearch" (and ret-full, possibly).

There's two ways. Well, three.

- For ACL stuff, use the debug facilities and actual test messages.
This can, depending on the test message source (smtp vs. non-)
require running the daemon with debug.
- If you have a message sitting in spool, -bem to set up all the
variables from it.
- Sprinkle printf, errm, logwrite liberally around.
