Would a hostlist retrieved from a database be treated differently from,
say, one explicitly defined in the configuration file?
Example:
hostlist foobar_spam = \N^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$\N
and
hostlist blocked_hosts = ${lookup mysql {select AccessEntry from
ControlAccess where AccessType = 2 and EntityType = 2}}
Both lists contain the same expression:
^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$ yet only the first hostlist seems to
match the incoming host when I run exim -bh <IP>
[Note: edited out obnoxious emailer IP in question]
Example output:
>>> checking addresses for mm-retail-out-1105.foobar.com
>>> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx OK
>>> host in "\N^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$\N
>>> mm-retail-out-*.foobar.com
>>> ^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$
>>> mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com"? no (end of list)
>>> host in "+blocked_hosts"? no (end of list)
>>> deny: condition test failed
>>> processing "deny"
>>> check hosts = +foobar_spam
>>> host in "^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$"? yes (matched
"^mm-retail-out-[\d-]+\.foobar\.com$")
>>> host in "+foobar_spam"? yes (matched "+foobar_spam")
Is there a way I can evaluate the data from the database as a list of
regular expressions? My goal is to write external tools for my team
where expressions are stored in a database and not directly in the
configuration file.
