Oktyabrski <[email protected]> 2011-01-13 12:32:22 --- (In reply to comment #3) > Exim has a very powerful string expansion language, but it's not a general > purpose scripting language, does not pretend to be and it's unwise to treat it > as such. There are plenty of hooks for using external tools, or an embedded > Perl interpreter, etc. The string manipulations with map/reduce and so on are > conveniences which have proven incredibly powerful, but if you find yourself > hitting the limits of those, then switch to an external scanner.

Some tasks are more complex than the <string_list> -> <string> translation, but requires fast execution because works in the smtp session. Calling external tool is a connect to the external tool and waiting for his answer. Sometimes it is impossible. And I don't speak about content scanners. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
