           Summary: wrong configuration option in dovecot authenticator
                    example
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.67
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

In the documentation available at
http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch37.html,
there is an option   "server_setid = $auth1"  which should be   "server_set_id
= $auth1".

Thanks.

[Bug 523] New: typo in dnsdb description for alternative separator

------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=523

           Summary: typo in dnsdb description for alternative separator
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.67
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-

        ReportedBy: bill-exim <at> carpenter.org
         QAContact: exim-dev <at> exim.org

Section 9.10 of the spec says:

"You can specify a different separator character between multiple records by
putting a right angle-bracket followed immediately by the new separator at the
start of the query."

Should be left angle-bracket (example is also wrong).

(I assume the 4.67 documentation is wrong because my 4.62 Exim install
understands the left angle-bracket and barfs on the right angle-bracket.)

The documentation is correct. The < syntax is used when Exim is interpreting a
list. The > syntax (this case) is used when Exim is generating a list. Where
does your 4.62 barf? Have you tried the example given in the manual?

My mistake.  I was unable just now to recreate the problem, and I'm now pretty
sure I had an unrelated mistake in an "expand:" expression.

In testing this, I see that Exim doesn't complain about the use of < in place
of >.  Does it just ignore it?  (I didn't actually test multiple records yet
and assumed it worked because it didn't complain.)

See 9.12 "Multiple dnsdb lookups". It will treat the rest of the item as 
a list, separated by whatever you gave. As there was only one item in 
your list, it does effectively ignore it.

I'm not sure if I phrased my question clearly.  I was wondering how Exim
interpreted my use of the WRONG angle bracket.  If that's what you were
answering, ok, thanks.

Yes, I was. The two different angle brackets have two different 
meanings. You can even use both. Here's an example from the Exim test 
suite:

${lookup dnsdb{>|mx=<;mxt1.test.ex;mxt2.test.ex}}

Interpretation:

>|   means separate multiple output information with |
mx=  means lookup MX records (default is TXT)
<;   means use ; for the separator of the list of things to lookup

... and the rest is the list. So if you just had

${lookup dnsdb{<:a.b.c}}

it would assume an input list separated by colons (which is of course
