The &'query-style'& type accepts a generalized database query. No particular
key value is assumed by Exim for query-style lookups. You can use whichever
Exim variables you need to construct the database query.
+
+For the string-expansion kind of lookups, the query is given in the first
+bracketed argument of the &${lookup ...}$& expansion.
+For the list-argument kind of lookup the quury is given by the remainder of the
+list item after the first semicolon.

.cindex "tainted data" "quoting for lookups"
If tainted data is used in the query then it should be quuted by
using the &*${quote_*&<&'lookup-type'&>&*:*&<&'string'&>&*}*& expansion operator
