I have made this lookup work by doing something which it seems I
shouldn't've had to do: I replaced the escaped period with a bracketed
period, thus: {${sg {$value}{[.]list}{}}}fail} . I tried other things
before this, like stripping the slash and doubling the slash, but none of
those worked. Should I report this as a bug, or is there something deep I
don't get?On Wed, Dec 17, 2025 at 10:11 AM Johnnie Adams <[email protected]> wrote: > For reference, here's the lookup: "${lookup {${local_part}.list} > dsearch,ret=key,filter=file {/opt/lsoft/listserv/home} {${sg {$value}{\.l > ist}{}}}fail}" > > Running exim -d -bt [email protected] is not > showing anything out of the ordinary. > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2025 at 10:03 AM Johnnie Adams <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I am now getting failures under a particular circumstance--sending to an >> address with "list-" in its name.
