Exactly. So in that sense they *are* "expanded once at load time". The only thing is there that are many, many "load time"s. The way Exim works (in terms of processes, forks, re-execs, etc) is all explained in the book and I cover it in my course (<advert> next course is in July </advert>) and has been discussed here on several occasions. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
