From https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-domain_host_address_and_local_part_lists.html "By default, there may be up to 16 named lists of each type. This limit can be extended by changing a compile-time variable.” In the default EDITME (which becomes Local/Makefile when you edit it) we have: #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # The maximum number of named lists of each type (address, domain, host, and # local part) can be increased by changing this value. It should be set to # a multiple of 16. # MAX_NAMED_LIST=16 So… change that & recompile. In terms of why… it’s been like that since the very first commit message from 2004. I’d suggest it’s related to platform limitations of the time!
