I actually prefer the flexibility of this approach.
However, I can see how it could cause issues with extremely large
domains since I don't think Exim caches these lookups (allowing
me to never issue restarts whenever I update these files, a
feature I very much enjoy).
Maybe someone else can provide an equivalent replacement
using one of the database back-ends? Seems like it would be
simple enough to use file backed databases, a real SQL database
or maybe even LDAP to achieve the performance required to make
this approach feasible with extremely populated domains.
