That's not a valid definition for a named list.
I suspect you've misread "lists are (string-) expanded before use" as meaning
that list *definitions* can have string-expansions. Not so. The
string-expansion
is done on the text that should be a list, when some text is arrived at in the
context of a list being needed.
Hrm. It … works for us? Is this something that happens to work but is
undocumented?
Indeed, hrm. Turns out I was wrong, having been speaking without
actually reading through the code to check.
Most uses of lists get a string-expansion first, handled by the
routine that does a search in a list. But the "listnamed" operator
is doing something different, expanding a possibly-nested list, and
uses different code which does neither a string-expansion step
nor any lookup-equivalent expansions.
The string-expansion step could be regarded as a bug, because two uses
of a list object behave differently (anyone volunteering for doing the devel
work?)
- but it seem infeasible to do a generic expansion for all possible
types of lookup which could be embedded as list elements.
So no, there's no way to re-cast the keys content of an lsearch file
as a comma-sep list. Perhaps you could write some custom perl
and use the ${perl} expansion.

Hrm. It … works for us? Is this something that happens to work but is

The router that uses that list, at least, seems to work as we intend:
manualmx:
driver = manualroute
domains = +manualmx_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_data = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/manualmx}}
Or am I misunderstanding?

I assume the issue is that the list is defined as dynamic … is there any
expansion string that handles that?
Dynamic? What?

So, the list in question is defined thus:
domainlist manualmx_domains = ${if exists {/etc/manualmx}
{lsearch;/etc/manualmx} {} }
When I expand ${listnamed_d:manualmx_domains}, I get just the definition part
of the above. So that doesn’t help.
I also tried expanding:
${if forany{${listnamed:manualmx_domains}}{eq {$item}{domain.tld}}{yes}{no}}
… where “domain.tld” is the domain I’m looking for, but still no dice.
I also tried:
${if inlist{domain.tld}{${listnamed:manualmx_domains}}{yes}{no}}
… but that doesn’t work, either.
I assume the issue is that the list is defined as dynamic … is there any
expansion string that handles that?
Thank you!
cheers,

For testing purposes I’d like to do something like:
-
${reduce {+mydomains}{}{${if eq{$value}{}{}{$value,}}$item}}
-
… and have it give me “mydomains”, joined with a comma.
${listnamed_d:mydomains} as source for your reduce.
Bear in mind that you a vulnerable to list elements
that already have an embedded comma, and ones with
an embedded colon may surprise you.
It'd be nicer if listnamed had a way of getting a
custom output separator, and/or if reduce did full
list expansion, of course.
