Every single one of my Exim configurations uses dnsdb because I need to do tests for the presence of PTR records, which is impossible without dnsdb. The regular reverse DNS lookups also do forward lookups, which are fine, but in some circumstances you need to test just for he I can understand mysql/postgres/sqllite being optional, given that any particular user will generally only use one (or fewer) of them. Just never made much sense why dnsdb was left optional, unless there was an issue of platform portability for some reason. > Before I remembered that most Exim installations don't have dnsdb > available to them. > > That's happened to me several times in the past.

I've run into that a few times too, again usually with regards to testing for PTR records. -- Dean Brooks [email protected] -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
