--- Comment #6 from Marten Lehmann <lehmann@???> ---
You are right, technically it indeed works as you suggested. But is that really
a configuration file you'd like to see in the wild? Do you think most exim
users with immediately understand a block that looks like this and _not_ assume
there's some error in the configuration or at least be surprised this actually
works?
# BEGIN
mysql_servers = \
pgsql_servers = \
#END
or
# BEGIN
mysql_servers = \
localhost::PORT_D/test/fred/ : \
pgsql_servers = \
HOSTIPV4::PORT_D2/test/bill/ : \
#END
I checked for "+=" notation you suggested initially, but that's not the actual
exim style. Correctly it would be
mysql_servers = +localhost::PORT_N/test/root/
.ifdef FUBAR
mysql_servers = +localhost::PORT_D/test/fred/
.endif
mysql_servers = +HOSTIPV4::PORT_D2/test/bill/
That's similar to
domains = +local_domains
openssl_options = +no_sslv2 +no_sslv3
hosts = +relay_from_hosts
and so on. I'm not sure what's involved to extend the database options to the
same behavior, yet I still think it's a desirable thing and I'd highly prefer
it to the workaround.
