http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1284 Summary: Minor imrovments to the description of the format of an acl Product: Exim Version: 4.80 Platform: Other URL: http://exim.org/exim-html- current/doc/html/spec_html/ch42.html#SECID199 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: low Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] The following patch: 1. I am not sure weather having the first acl condition be on the line that follows the verb may not be changed in the future. The default Debian configuration makes use of that feature. I think that hidden features are best avoided. 2. I also moved a paragraph about the acl format to where I think it belongs. 3. And aligned the conditions vertically, as the text says it is conventional. --- a/spec.txt 2012-08-16 05:12:03.579664107 +0300 +++ b/spec.txt 2012-08-16 05:12:01.000000000 +0300 @@ -24620,7 +24620,7 @@ provides a means of specifying an "and" example: deny dnslists = list1.example -dnslists = list2.example + dnslists = list2.example If there are no conditions, the verb is always obeyed.
